New Book On the Way
My new book is coming out soon! Practical Priorities for Fibromyalgia Recovery: 12 Simple Strategies for Creating a Chemical-Free Life, Revving Up Your Immune System, and Improving Your Symptoms will be released this summer. My husband, Vic, and I have written a book about how I recovered from a chronic illness that has no known cure. How did that happen? Vic's a retired family doctor and medical educator who brought a physician's perspective to my personal research project. Me? I was too stubborn to let the whole incurable thing keep me from finding a way to move toward a healthier life.
Fibromyalgia Recovery Strategy of the Month
Change your mind to change your reality. When I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, every doctor I saw told me that there was no cure. I believed them for a while. After a year of excruciating pain, chronic fatigue, insomnia, fibro fog, numbness, and a gazillion other awful symptoms, I decided to investigate ways to feel better. I was too stubborn to accept that I was doomed to a life of constant misery. I eventually created strategies to cope with my symptoms. Hold on to hope. Don't listen to all those negative voices. Change your mind, even if they don't change theirs. I got better. So can you. I just wanted one day without any pain. So far, I've had seven years of freedom from fibromyalgia.
