As from a recent report in the news it was seen that many social media websites have changed drastically the people’s way of interaction with each other. But then the question arises that has all this also contributed to the way we are handling our health or not. Many of us now know or have heard of the very famous websites like the Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, YouTube and so on which have become quite much of addictions for the people these days. But then there are some websites which are known lesser to the people like the one with the name DIYgenomics.com, PatientsLikeMe.com and another one named CureTogether.com.

These websites are those which are using the social media model for themselves so as to provide good help to the people and the patients to connect to each other and also interact with each other hence enabling all such patients to come close to the real world data regarding their own conditions and the treatments available through this method. This might prove to be quite a help to many patients as it has been seen lately
