DailyStrength is a website that offers answers to health and life challenges as well as a wide variety of support tools. The site enables users to create and track their progress towards specific goals, create their own support groups, and read consumer reviews of more than 500 drugs, treatments, and alternative therapies.
For example, the site offers a Tooth Grinding support group of which there are currently 133 members. The latest activity is displayed in a side bar and information is provided primarily from Wikipedia. There are also several people looking for advice on wisdom teeth.
The site allows you to see the members who are online, offer them hugs, share stories by video, photo and text. People can also designate themselves as members in need and you can chat live with others.
The site prides itself in being free and anonymous and receives the input of several M.D.s. The site was founded by senior executives from Yahoo and Facebook. DailyStrength aims to be a free online support group that helps patients with the emotional aspects of their health challenges.
The site is not bogged down by ads, and they blend in nicely with the content. The design is sleek and professional looking.
There are also numerous articles posted by experts in the field regularily and you can even sign up to create your own health journal.

what other websites in this field do you know?

Hey David, thanks for reading some of the reviews of health sites I recently posted here. My favorite and the site I have found to be the most beneficial is mdjunction.com, which is why I have a link to them on my blog. The few others I have reviewed recently I personally have never really benefited from. Another site that I have seen doing a heavy amount of advertising is http://www.revolutionhealth.com/.
