Support Groups

Support groups can be a very helpful tool for patients with iron deficiency anemia.  These groups provide not only additional educational information about iron deficiency anemia, but they also provide moral support through being a part of a community of people who struggle with similar health problems.  In these groups, people can find others with similar problems related to iron deficiency anemia and see how they have dealt with their treatment.  This sharing of knowledge is very beneficial for patients as they try to find what works best for them.



One support group for iron deficiency anemia is called the Anemia Support Group.  Located at http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Anemia/support-group,this group page provides information about iron deficiency anemia, as well as links to health blogs dealing with iron deficiency anemia.  Additionally, there are discussion posts created by others who had specific questions or problems dealing with different aspects of anemia, such as pernicious anemia, exercising with anemia, and even regarding their confusion about their labs.  These discussions in particular would be helpful for patients with questions about their health care.

Another iron deficiency anemia support group online is found at http://www.drugs.com/answers/support-group/iron-deficiency-anemia/, called Iron Deficiency Anemia Support Group.  This group is specifically used for the asking and answering of patient questions.  The website boasts of having "54 questions and 64 members," and the questions deal with issues like what medications and prescriptions are best, and how to recognize symptoms of iron deficiency anemia.

Finally, http://anemia.supportgroups.com/ is another online support group that provides information about iron deficiency anemia to the public.  It boasts of having 2,945 members, and the website allows for members to post anything from questions to how they are feeling, and for other members to comment on these posts.  This style of website creates a community of support between all people who suffer from iron deficiency anemia, helping people to not feel alone in their suffering.

Support groups are very useful tools for patients with iron deficiency anemia, and health care providers should encourage them to join one.

I continued my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement, the same few doctors and they represent a very small fraction of the community.
