I’ve been tagged by Chronic Chick Talk to do a meme with 10 reasons why I blog, so here they are:

  1. I started blogging as a way to record my journey with Fibromyalgia. My old blog started as a diary that anyone could read, with the ups and downs of my new life being ill. If you’re interested, the old blog is still up at lindseymiddlemiss.spaces.live.com - it may be of use to someone, particularly if you want to know what it all had really been like, including my adventures with medication.
  2. I now blog to raise awareness of Fibromyalgia Syndrome.
  3. I blog because it is something I have always managed to do even when really quite sick.
  4. I blog to provide somewhere people with Fibro can go to look at summaries of research. Although abstracts are available on pubmed.org, they can be difficult to understand and don’t link to related abstracts. I hope to make it easier for other Fibromites to get information about evidence based research.
  5. I blog to provide information relating to the West Berkshire ME & FM Group, which I run. The group has its own website but it is often easier to post stuff here.
  6. I blog to keep a record of information related to Fibro – if I’m looking for a news item on Fibro, or even a specific piece of research, then I search my own blog first. It’s very useful when you need to reference information or at the end of the month when I need to do the local group’s newsletter.
  7. I blog to publicise events and activities raising awareness of Fibro, such as the PolkaDotGals Calendar Campaign for Fibromyalgia Awareness.
  8. I blog to connect with the medical blogosphere, to network, to make relationships and to learn from others.
  9. I blog to advertise what myself and my friends are doing, such as the setting up of FibroAction, a new UK association for Fibro awareness.
  10. I blog because I started and now I don’t want to stop!
