In this series, we present the submitted entries from our recent Social Media Story Contest. The first entry belongs to Sarah E. Kucharski, an intimal fibromuscular dysplasia patient and co-founder of the social media-based, peer-to-peer support group, FMD Chat.

The chronic patient who is an only child is a creature who is both fiercely independent and profoundly lonely. I am that creature, and my loneliness is further compounded by the fact that I have a rare version of a rare disease. There's a saying often used in the medical field that if something looks like a horse, and walks like a horse, and sounds like a horse, it's probably not a zebra. As an only child who is a chronic patient with a rare version of a rare disease, I can't help but imagine myself as a sullen green unicorn sitting in the corner who no one will play with because even though I could be really nice and awesome, sullen green unicorns are just weird. Even zebras think so.

When I give a talk about how e-patients use the web, usually I use psoriasis as an example (e.g. if you do a search for "psoriasis" on Twitter, you will find a lot of people talking about their own condition). Webicina's new Psoriasis and Social Media collection features relevant and quality social media resources from blogs and podcasts to community sites, Youtube and Twitter accounts focusing on this important condition.
