| We Have A Winner! Congrats to Rita Keersmaekers from CA. She will recieve a copy of this book free of charge. Way to go Rita! This month we are reviewing; "Taking Charge Of
Fibromyalgia" Everything You Need To Know To Manage Fibromyalgia. Book Overview: This book was a delightful surprise. It is 288 pages of pure education. Written by two health professionals, it educates yet speaks to you in laymen terms. Julie and Rosalie have both lived
with FMS since 1990. They founded the first FMS support group in Minnesota in 1991. They have been educating and helping FMS sufferers for 14 years and their new book has a lot to say. Rosalie currently works with FM
patients at a clinic in Chicago. It touches on medications the authors have tried and scientific information on other medications. It breaks down the symptoms of FMS
and how to treat them.They talk about diet, nutrition, how to journal Scattered through out the book are journal pages, showing you how to track your pain, your sleep, your medications and more to pinpoint the best treatments for you. It is like a paint by numbers book
for those who are newly diagnosed with FMS or any other chronic pain or fatigue illness.
Read, It describes herbs, alternative therapies, diet and nutrition. Stress management, breathing, stretching.... A one stop shop for advice by those
who live with FMS. In my opinion, this is a valuable source of help, written by people
