What are friends for?Well, I think we all need a good friend--or two or three--who can make us laugh when we need a good laugh. And a really good friend can make us laugh at ourselves. The other day when I put up my post The Fat Cancer Patient, I was in a pretty bad mood about having gained eight pounds in as many weeks, as a result of taking steroids and also not being able to exercise. My friend Julie--who's been facing some tough times of her own lately--was the first reader to respond. Here's what she said, under the title "Not over till the fat lady sings":Dearest Jeanne--Jus...

I recently received an email from James J Atkinson, The Health Sensei, telling me that he has chosen Lab Soft News as one of the top fifty healthcare IT blogs (see: Top 50 Healthcare IT Blogs). The picks are categorized (e.g., CIO and IT Technician Blogs, HIT News & Opinion Blogs, etc.) rather than displayed in rank order. Lab Soft News falls into the second bucket. The recognition is well appreciated but check out the others -- it's a great list. Take some time to savor them and bookmark the page for later reference. (Source: Lab Soft News)

These males are also in the earliest stages of accepting mortality. If

I will share some thoughts that I left at a discussion at a ‘linked in’ group about addiction. I was responding to someone who was equating addiction and physical dependence in a baby born to an opiate-addicted mother. My feeling is that such women are given way too much of an attitude by the nurses and others who care for them, and that was the motivation behind my response. Read on:
There are many differences between physiological dependence and addiction to substances. For example, people who take effexor are dependent– and will have significant discontinuation-emergent side effects– but they are n...

I reproduce it below in its entirety:I think you're being too narrow when you define personalized medicine as targeted therapy.

I don't think we are ever prepared for a period like this--I know I'm not--even though we know intellectually, that these times will be coming. I know that my own hospitalization in November caught me pretty much unprepared. I felt very vulnerable and scared, and of course I was so very sick that I didn't even feel like myself ...

And even though I have never met these women face to face, or talked to them on the phone, they are very important to me. We share a part of our lives that we can't--or don't--share with our loved ones back in the real world. One of these friends is Julie.

My good and one of my longest blogging friends Cheryl has a new template after years of having the same one. She surprised me and I was overjoyed to upload it for her after she picked one she liked. I really appreciated her trusting me with her password and username – that’s a blogging friend for ya. Stop by and tell her what you think of it! I think you find her a good blog to stop in every few days and to read. She mainly writes about her daily life much like me. Cheryl's LaDeDa (Source: The 4th Avenue Blues)

Happy New Year! May your year be full of success, fulfillment and happiness.
I’d also like to take this moment to thank you — our loyal readers — for helping propel us to where we are today! I’d also like to thank all of our dedicated staff, writers, editors, administrators and moderators, as well as the over 110,000 members of our communities here at Psych Central. Without the support and help of so many people, we could not be where we are today.
We’re looking forward to a great 2010, rolling out a few new blogs in the new year and something special that I hope to be able to share with you ...

As the year end approaches, I would like to give you my pick for the top five blogs of the year. These are blogs that have personally made a difference in my life, and I’m sure if you become a fan, will make a difference in yours.
The authors are real people with real life experiences and real comments. Their blogs are easy to navigate and their content will make you think. You may not always agree with them but you’ll always find them engaging. Without further ado… here are my picks for 2009.

We have a new cancer blogger on the block, ladies and gentlemen. Joanna, who has been a regular reader of this blog, has started a cancer blog called Life Has Its Ups and Downs. Joanna is definitely one of us, in that she has her priorities straight: She writes in her first post that she waited only seven weeks after a bilateral mastectomy to play tennis, and waited just four days after each chemo treatment to get out on the courts. Two years after her diagnosis, she plays almost every day. "Entering the cancer world is not for the faint of heart," she writes on her blog. Please jump over ...

If you’re like me — or even if you don’t spend quite as much time browsing “all things diabetes” in cyberspace — you might have noticed that the incredible proliferation of new D-blogs and online communities is making it seemingly impossible to keep up. Which is actually a wonderful thing, I suppose.

This morning I received an e-mail from a PR person, Sherry Feldberg, who works for Accuray, the company that makes cyberknife. (They write it "CyberKnife.")She said she'd love to speak with me about cyberknife so that I can help her with her campaign to get into new media. This is what she wrote:"From your post, I realize you have not yet had CyberKnife, but I'd still love to speak with you. As you're keeping a blog, you're clearly savvy when it comes to using new media which is a growing target for our awareness campaign. We have a CyberKnife Facebook fan page (you should join!), Twitt...

Once again it’s time to reflect on what marked the year here at DiabetesMine.com. 2009 was surely eventful, both for this blog and for me personally. Never a dull a moment when you’re a busy D-blogger, Health 2.0 advocate, and mother of three, I guess. Here’s a list of some key milestones that stand out [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine)

The comment below was left on my blog on December 24. I didn't push it live because it violates my firm policy about not allowing people to criticize my--or others--decisions about their cancer treatment on my blog. I also don't allow people to call me names or tell me what to do ... Do you have any guilt for using up so much of your family's resources to buy yourself a few more months of life? I have resigned myself to a short and painful life rather than mortgaging my children's future for my life.This comment was added to a post about the high cost of cancer treatment. So while I could ...

How dangerous is opiate dependence?Email this article to a colleague.

I frequently point out the lack of outrage over the epidemic of opiate dependence and the consequence of that epidemic. I live in ‘middle America,’ and sometimes it seems that everyone I know has some connection to opiate dependence– a relative who is an addict, a friend who died, a parent who is in prison. My perceptions are admittedly distorted by the work that I do, but I don’t know who has the more accurate perceptions; me or the people who seem surprised to hear that most high school kids know where they could get heroin. Addicts who I treat who come down from the U.P. of Michigan tell ...
