New Allergy and Asthma Websites From HealthCentral Network

Filed in archive Allergy Blogs , Asthma , Living with Allergies on September 1, 2006

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America and The HealthCentral Network are joining forces to to create two new websites for individuals with asthma and allergic disorders:
www.MyAllergyNetwork.com and
My Asthma Central.

The (websites) are designed to leverage the wisdom and experience of asthma and allergy sufferers to help others coping with similar challenges. Building on a base of comprehensive medical information to inform and manage asthma, the new site seeks foremost to connect the asthma community through the voice of others who have been there.

I browsed the websites briefly and there's hefty collection of articles on archive. But the most attractive feature is the "Community" area with a message board (in the allergy website) where patients can connect to and share experiences with fellow patients. There's not a lot going on there, but I hope it'll pick up momentum soon. It also has a list of blogs tackling allergies (I hope they include Allergizer, too!) and the asthma website has a list of support groups.
