Yes I know an odd question for a blog which covers fibromyalgia and arthritis in some depth.

But let me explain (and ask for your help).

When the wonderful (and wacky) world of weblogging came into my life about 10 years ago it seemed that we could not move for citizen journalists writing on any and every subject that took their fancy. I was told about one blog which covered the history of the headgear of Roman Catholic priests before the Second Vatican Council.

But those days seem to be over especially in the whole area of healthcare and fibro in particular. To some extent this is due to the rise of social media like Twitter. Though I’m not certain how much insight you can get from 140 characters. But it does seem that there are far fewer blogs active than there were five years ago.

The reason I started thinking about this was by accident really.

A couple of days ago a lady called Catherine Manning dropped a link to her excellent blog about fibromyalgia and arthritis called “Old before my Time. You can check it out by clicking the link here.

Now I used to read Ms Manning’s blog on a very regular basis but realised that I’d not done so in a couple of years. Indeed we even published a cross post from her a few years ago. Indeed that applied to a lot of the blogs that I used to follow.

Which brings me to the reason for this post. What should I be reading online and where can I find it?

Please feel free to share the blogs you read (or even better the blogs you write) in the comments box below.

It will give both my readers and myself a great opportunity to find out what is going on out there.

And maybe it will help to prime the pump of the arthritis and fibromyalgia blogging communities.

Thanks very much in advance!
