FORWARD
The Book you are
about to read portrays a determined woman who sought to learn as much as she
could about fibromyalgia syndrome. In her quest, she also came to terms with
the fact that knowledge of the syndrome itself
was simply not enough to attempt to gain control over her personal situation.
So, with a thirst that could not be quenched, she proceeded to seek other
information that specifically pertained to learning to live with any type of painful, incurable and chronic illness.
Marilyn has been a patient of mine for many
years. I know that fibromyalgia has been a heavy burden for her to carry and
that because of its intensity on her physical and emotional being, she has lost
a great deal in her life. Although she has spent many years suffering with
chronic pain, her spirit has yet to be broken. She continually strives to make
a better life for herself in spite of her illness.
Reading her book has convinced me that she has
learned a great deal from both her personal experiences and her research. Her
book is written in a clear and concise manner that can be easily referred to
time and time again, and represents her own personal views and opinions
strictly from a patient’s standpoint. She wishes to share her personal
experiences and extensive research with others that might benefit from them.
Her book is a “must read” for anyone that is afflicted with this disorder and
for those in close connection with someone that has it.

About the Author
Before being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I worked in sales and before that, in the legal field. I was a dynamic human being with a lot to offer. I was single, strong, independent and ready to meet the world head on. Now, all the energy and dynamics have disintegrated and I am left to survive on disability and helpful friends and family. It has not been easy dealing with this Syndrome and I sympathize with others that have it, as well as the many families and friends who have to watch a loved one suffer and change so much.
