Summary: easy reader
Review: I found this book extremely helpful to myself and a 17yr old girl who was recently diagnosed. We applied the charts and routines and really payed attention to the information. Any disease can gain control of you if you let it. I have a history of chronic heart disease and have learned that there is more to controlling a disease and recognizing how is the beginning. For this book to be helpful you must be open minded and really listen to the message and be honest with yourself in order to get control of the disease. But I can guarantee anyone with the disease if you apply this book thoroughly it will make all the difference in the world. My doctor read the book in order to help treat me and that helped even more. We are only in the beginning of understanding this disease so don't expect your family and friends to know or understand it, most doctors don't consider it unless there is nothing else to call it. But it's real and debilitating. Try It!

Summary: easy reader
Review: I found this book to be very brief and to the point. They have a lot of tips that can be incorporated into your daily life routines. The testimonials let you know that you are not alone and that just because of this diagnosis of fibromyalgia may slow you down a little, it should not stop you from living a meaningful life. It brought up to speed and provided some clarity on how to get myself back on my feet again!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Authors need to be more educated
Review: This book sends some very bad messages. It does not explain how the course of fibromyalgia can be mild, moderate, or severe. Some people with severe FMS have incapacitating pain. This book implies, that, if you have incapacitating pain, you are 'just giving into it', and 'you need to find better ways of dealing with your pain than laying in bed'. Unfortunately, people who do not have FMS read books like these, and get the wrong messages about people with severe FMS. I would not recommend this book.
