Demyelinated not Destroyed

While stuck in the throes of insomnia last night, I finished creating several separate pages that are attached to the Demyelinated not Destroyed blog page. Here’s a hint of some of the information that’s now available at demyelinatednotdestroyed.today.com

• Definitions – A list of commonly used words and abbreviations concerning demyelinating diseases. I made a supreme effort to ensure all definitions are worded in ways that the average person can understand.

• List of Demyelinating Diseases – A list of diseases and disorders that can cause demyelination. Links to any blog posts explaining about any of the diseases are included in the list for easy reference. It is still possible to search for information about these diseases by clicking on “Demyelinating Diseases” under the Categories section.

• Symptoms – A list of common and uncommon symptoms experienced by those living with demyelinating diseases. Links to any blog posts detailing information about the symptoms and ways to alleviate them are included for easy reference. As with the list of demyelinating diseases, all of this information can still be found by clicking on “Symptoms” under the Categories section.

• Treatments – A list of common and uncommon treatments for demyelinating diseases. This list is broken down into western medicine and alternative medicine categories. Links to any blog posts giving information on the various treatment options are included. All of this information can still be found by clicking on “Treatments” or any of its sub-categories under the Categories section.

If anyone knows of anything that needs to be included on these new pages or has recommendations on other pages I should create, please let me know.

I also updated my blogroll yesterday. There are links to three new blogs, four new charities, and one new store. I added the following categories: “Support Communities” and “Websites”. “Support Communities” presently has four different links, each one going to a messageboard where people living with, or who have loved ones living with, demyelinating diseases of various kinds can find support. “Websites” has one link and is for links to any websites I want to include for various reasons but doesn’t fit in any of the other categories.

I’m presently debating creating a separate website to house all of this information along with a messageboard. The messageboard would be for additional support of people having to deal with a demyelinating disease in one way or another. It would also make it easier for me to interact with my readers. The blog would still be hosted by Today.com. Any new entries would be accessed by an RSS reader on the website or directly at Today.com. What do you think? Do you think a separate website would be beneficial? Or should I just stick with the present format?

On a side note, anyone in need of extra cash (who isn’t right now?) should sign up for a blog on Today.com. You get paid per post and for the amount of page views your blog receives every month. It’s also very easy to use. If you’re interested, you can find out more information or sign up for your very own Today.com blog here .
