I purchased this book because it is written by a person who has fibromyalgia, so I knew she would understand what Fibromyalgia is about.
The book is small, but informative. It gets right to the point. The author, Clarissa Shepherd starts by explaining her experience with fibromyalgia. She goes to explain our sensitivity to chemicals and how diet can affect those with fibro.
She then lists supplements that can help with the advice of checking with a doctor before starting any supplements, which is very smart advice. She gives explanations of the supplements, making it very easy to understand to those of us who are not savvy with supplements.
She also adds some breathing exercises, cautioning the reader to start slowly and build up.
I really enjoy her natural approaches to help with Fibromyalgia. I am personally wary of the chemicals we put into our bodies and want to find a more natural way to help with fibro, along with the advice of my doctor.
The stamina exercises are very helpful and gentle. She also gives the advice for Fibro patients to be patient with ourselves and not beat ourselves up over our limitations.
I think this is a great book for anyone who has fibromyalgia, whether it be the person who has been diagnosed for years or for the newly diagnosed.
