There’s much to be said about the uses and benefits of joining and participating on Twitter. For starters, you can find others who share a diagnosis, interest in healthcare reform, interest in specific forms of medical research, or share other interests you will want to pursue. You'll find people to ask questions of, or people to share your own resources with. This type of talk keeps you mentally healthy, which is something we all can benefit from.
Funnily enough, when you’re feeling like you need a pick-me-up, a great source of comedy is found in this unlikely Even well known brands like Old Spice and Taco Bell know the power of comedy in their social media strategy. Now, not everyone is out to create a strategy, but everyone can use a good laugh. Whether it be hilarity via 140 characters, or chuckles via a great comic/image to share, Twitter can be your place to gain a little lighter perspective.
