Use Twitter #hashtags to find support

You can use Twitter hashtags to find people, organizations, and research. They are a wonderful way to organize tweets, find people with similar interests, and find topics that appeal to you.

However, like anything, too much information of one thing can be a bad thing. Mark Twain said it best- “Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.” I like to remember that whenever I do research on the internet. I should just have it inscribed on my laptop in bold letters!

Here are a few #hashtags that I like to follow and search on Twitter:
#fibro
#fibromyalgia
#pain sometimes this hashtag will produce too much
#FM short for fibromyalgia
#FMS short for fibromyalgia syndrome
#spoonies great to use just to chat with fellow fibro people online
#FF Follow Friday- an event that happens on Fridays, people will tweet out who they recommend to follow. It’s a great way to learn which users to follow.
