Book excerpt: Are you struggling with Fibromyalgia/chronic pain/chronic fatigue and insomnia? Melissa shares the ways she fights these symptoms and her journey from miserable to thriving despite Fibromyalgia.Melissa Reynolds has fought Fibromyalgia since she was 14 years old. Only, she didn't receive a name for her invisible opponent until she was in her 20s. Unfortunately, the name of the illness did not come with help. However, she took matters into her own hands and in seven years, she went from miserable and barely coping with life to thriving.Using a combination of research and personal trial and error, she has managed to bring her pain and fatigue levels down and minimise the effects of the debilitating brain fog by using everything she has written about on her blog MelissavsFibromyalgia.com. With a passion for research, health and wellness, Melissa combines her findings (both research and anecdotal evidence) with personal experience and hopes that sharing this knowledge will make even one life a bit easier. Praise for Melissa vs Fibromyalgia: My Journey Fighting Chronic Pain, Chronic Fatigue and Insomnia"I wish this book had been around when I first got diagnosed." Deb, a Fibro Fighter "This book is a very interesting read. It is packed full of information that is easy to understand and apply. The book reads quickly and doesn't weigh you down with heavy text. Melissa is a brilliant writer and I enjoy her work. I recommend her book if you have fibromyalgia or know someone who does." - Jessie"Love it. Melissa starts most chapters with 'What I Do'. She's not hitting me over the head with her wisdom. Another fine book by Melissa Reynolds. I like that every chapter is stand alone. You can start anywhere and go anywhere. You can read from back to front if you want. I especially resonate with '10 Nice Minutes', a list of stuff to do for yourself (I could add to the list); 'Document Your Experiment', experimenting and finding patterns is key to my success with MS; 'Pacing and Boundaries', I'm working on this for myself; and 'Support', finding a good team is critical. You only need a few reliable people. Then exceptional support can come from unexpected places. Melissa starts most chapters with 'What I Do'. She's not hitting me over the head with her wisdom. I hate it when people think they're so smart about me.I have multiple sclerosis, not fibromyalgia. Still, I can use 75% of this book. Melissa, thanks for your courage, thoughtfulness, and humor." - Danny van Leeuwen, Opa, RN, MPH, CPHQHealth Hats (www.health-hats.com)Praise for Melissa's first book Fibro Mama Pregnancy and Fibromyalgia"Lived experience + self-awareness + systems thinking + good storytelling is golden.
