We may be facing a health crisis: breast cancer, AIDS diagnosis, infertility, Parkinson’s.

A family member may just have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or lung cancer or some other serious and possibly life-threatening illness or condition.

Or we may simply want to lose some weight. Lower our cholesterol. Eat more healthy foods. Cut down on sweets. Escape from a pack-a-day habit.

Whatever it may be, all of us experience health in one form or another and we may want or need a place where we can write about it and receive support and community while we do so. Yet we may be afraid to talk or write about it in public.

That’s where the folks at MyHealthMyWorld.com come in. They’ve created MyHealthMySpace.com, a community where we all can write – anonymously and absolutely privately – and receive support about our health issues, whatever they may be. And no one need know who we are.

Anyone can sign up for a blog diary at MyHealthMySpace.com. It’s easy to do so and it’s free. (I’ll be writing more about how to do this in future posts here at HealthRecordNews.com,) Diarists can then write as often as they wish. Other MyHealthMySpace blogging diarists will be able to comment, as readers of "regular" blogs can.

What, you may well wonder, makes MyHealthMySpace different from any other blog? After all, thousands of bloggers already write about health issues they may be facing in their personal blogs.

The difference is that your blog at MyHealthMySpace will focus on your health, however you want to write it, however you want to discuss it, however you want it to appear.

Do you want advice from other MyHealthMySpace bloggers? Ask for it.

Do you just need a place where you can vent – about your health, your condition, your mother’s condition, your father’s terminal illness, your child’s autism – and not worry that your family and friends will judge you?

Or do you want your effort to improve your health, your battle with skin cancer, your journey through your mother’s dementia to be of help to others? By writing about your own experience, you can help others as they go through theirs.

Whatever you want it to be, your blog diary at MyHealthMySpace is yours to create.
