This caring and knowledgeable guide can help you feel better--starting now.
Fibromyalgia causes muscle stiffness and pain, debilitating fatigue, and numerous other symptoms. Most frustrating of all, people with fibromyalgia syndrome don't look sick; standard tests for injury or chemical imbalances often show nothing wrong. But if you suffer from fibromyalgia, you know that your disease is real, and so is your pain. It's natural to feel discouraged--but don't give up! In Fibromyalgia: Simple Relief through Movement, Stacie L. Bigelow--a motivational health counselor and FMS sufferer herself--gives hope to everyone with fibromyalgia with a simple program designed to help you benefit from the one thing that is known to help: movement.
While this book definitely isn't one of the best resources I've read, it's one of the most honest. It's not amazing, because it does to a certain degree imply that people who suffer from fibromyalgia are simply lazy. While this isn't true, the fact that exercise is one of the best helps to fibromyalgia is. The stretches in this book are wonderful and low-impact, and stretch each area individually. Buy it used or get it from a library and it's worth it!
