Forum Rules - Please Read!

1. Offer solutions and suggestions anytime you can. We want to build a supportive, positive community. If you're just here to complain, there's no room for that...please take complaints somewhere else.
2. Be nice. ChronicBabes are all about finding solutions, not starting arguments. Respect different points of view - you just might learn something.
3. Please don't use profanity, and we will immediately ban anyone who says anything racist, homophobic or otherwise inflammatory. Got it?
4. If you want to post a photo or two (not 10!) of yourself or something that inspires you, great - but don't use the photo or video section to advertise your business or you'll be banned immediately.
5. Have fun! As with all things ChronicBabe-related, we want the Forum to be a place where you can enjoy yourself, get fresh ideas, meet cool people and connect in a positive way. That will happen because you make it happen, so go for it!

A few words on thoughtfulness

We are a community, which means there are many of us, all from different backgrounds and experiences. When we talk on the forum, we bring unique benefits - and biases - to the table. Please use care when responding to another member's question or statement; she (or he) may be going through a hard time, or may come from a different perspective. Try to be as factually accurate and respectful as possible, and remember that medical advice from another member should never take the place of a health care provider's advice. XO Jenni

Chronicbabe Bulletin Board (Updated 11/17/09)

Welcome to the ChronicBabe Forum! As of today, we have almost 350 members and we're still growing fast! Join the conversation...and be sure to "friend" Editrix Jenni!

If you're brand new to discussion forums, read this first. As you get comfy with our group, personalize your page and add a profile image (even if you want to be anonymous, give us something nice to look at!) You can add photos that will play in a random slideshow (many members already have, and they're great pics!), or videos for other Babes to watch (we have a bunch already!). You can create a Group within the community (maybe on a specific disease, or a goal you have) and you can chat with other members in our chat room (you can participate any time you're logged in.)

Like the Forum? Grab the Badge on the lower right-hand corner and post it on your blog to help spread our message. Because we're so new, there might be little issues; if you have things you would like to see, please email Jenni by visiting ChronicBabe.com/contact.

PLUS: Please read the FORUM RULES (to the left) before you dive into the conversation. Thanks!

Hi Gals! I just talked to my son who is a firefighter but not a paramedic yet. He told me that while assisting or driving the ambulance he has never seen a paramedic look for a medicalert bracelet/necklace. Sheesh! BUT, most ambulance runs they go...

I think it's a little risky, in a way, to go for a medicalert that looks more like normal jewelry rather than says MEDICALERT when you catch a glimpse of it. Mine is pretty -- sure -- but it's also the traditional plate that's easily identifiable.

Meet Your Moderators (Updated 10/13/09)

Hi Babes! We have a few moderators helping us out so please keep your eyes peeled for these ladies: Cocoa, Kelly, Maryann, Becky, Samantha, Pam, Brittney, Sherree, Lindsay, Whitney, Joanna, Sarah, Barbara, Jessica, Heather, Sara, Erin, Diana and Darlene. If you have questions or concerns you can shoot me (or them) a message. Yay! Thanks, all you awesome ChronicBabes, for volunteering!

Disclaimer!

Babes, we are not doctors. Nor are we lawyers. In fact, we're just a bunch of women (and a few men) who are sick and want to share resources. So please be careful what you do after reading medical advice here. Always speak to your health care professional before trying a new medication, supplement, exercise routine, etc. ChronicBabe.com and its staff are not liable if bad stuff happens to you, and we would hate for bad stuff to happen to you! So be smart, savvy, and do your own research. XO Jenni, the Editrix

My new favorite jewelry: WellAlarm Medical ID Bracelet

Medical ID jewelry has never appealed to me. And luckily, I've never had an illness that really warranted me wearing any. But an asthma scare a few months ago got me thinking... So when Stephanie Cion, creator of WellAlarm, offered to send me a free piece to try out, I went for it.

Patients For A Moment Vol. 1, #12 - A blog carnival for us sickos

Hosting Patients For A Moment (PFAM) is a great honor. (Thanks, Duncan!) Sure, I love a good edition of Grand Rounds, but sometimes there are so many health care provider-created posts I'm a bit overwhelmed. And after all, the idea of patient-generated content is why this whole ChronicBabe thing got started. So without further ado, let's see what the ChronicBabes and ChronicDudes are talking about this week:
