Shared experiences

I had been meaning to mention Dipex for ages, but I was recently told that it had just changed its name to Healthtalkonline , which seems a good opportunity to write about it. It’s a compilation of interviews with people describing their experiences with illness. I think it’s a fabulous resource for patients, and for also friends and relatives. No matter how much one reads about the impact or difficulties of a condition, the view of someone who has also been there can be very helpful. I recommend it.
