Great price for a book in great condition

The majority of the book entails synopsis of women's life coping mechanism with the condition of FMS. Would have liked a more informative type of booklet but was good to realize one is not alone.

A Good Read

For those diagnosed with fibro or who have a family member or friend with fibro, this is a good read. Because contributions are made from women who have fibromyalgia, their suggestions and comments are real life, things we can put into practice. It is a lot more applicable than others I have read.

This is me!

When I started reading this book, I began to cry. I saw myself over and over again. And it is so comforting to know I am not the only person feeling this way, hurting this much. I am not quite finished yet, but so far I have learned so much I didn't know and also found suggestions for coping I hadn't encountered. Now if someone could only come up with a cure!
