Why a Tweet Site?

Did you know nearly 1 in 2 people live with a chronic illness? If it’s not YOU, it’s someone you care about!

Twitter now has 105,779,710 registered users. New users are signing up at the rate of 300,000 per day. 180 million unique visitors come to the site every month.

We are a nonprofit with a deep cause we believe in–

(1) The awareness of the fact that most illness is invisible so that those with illness and those without, both understand that how one appears rarely expresses the amount of pain he or she is in.

(2) Those with illness can find encouragement. We want to spread the word about our 5-day virtual conference Sept 13-17, 2010.

Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc. are all great ways that you can help us in our efforts of spreading the word. Thank you for your passion!

  • How to Get Some Sleep When the Pain Won’t Go Away! September 15, 2011
    Shari Smith Since my original injury in September 2009, I’ve had ridiculous issues with sleep, or should I say the lack thereof. I’ve tried multiple prescription sleep medications to no avail. Even strong pain medications make me feel absolutely horrible overall but don’t always break through the pain cycle enough to help me to sleep. [...]
