Support, understanding and even basic information can be hard to come by for those coping with the intense pain and fatigue of this debilitating chronic illness, as well as the grief, anger and isolation that often accompany it's onset. Women Living with Fibromyalgia offers insight and practical advice to help suffers alleviate the symptoms of FM and manage its impact on their lives, relationships and careers. Women from all walks of life share their experiences and the lessons they've learned about fibromyalgia. By exploring how FM affects women's health, spirituality and the roles they play in their families and in the world, this book can help its readers create new and rewarding lives even as they cope with the loss of an old one.

 Rating:  - Great price for a book in great conditionThe majority of the book entails synopsis of women's life coping mechanism with the condition of FMS.

Rating: - I'm glad I'm reading itI was introduced to this book by my fiance (now my husband), who bought it for himself - to read and understand what I'm going through and to better help me. He urged me to read it, too, but I did not want to learn anything about it, mostly because much of what I've read before contained so much 'doom and gloom'. I'm so glad that I am reading it now, and like the previous reviewer, I was overcome with emotion to see myself continually, not realizing just how many symptoms I just chalked up ...

And it is so comforting to know I am not the only person feeling this way, hurting this much. I am not quite finished yet, but so far I have learned so much I didn't know and also found suggestions for coping I hadn't encountered. Now if someone could only come up with a cure! Rating:  - Angry and DisappointedMy hope when I bought this book was that I would find inside it encouragement and helpful advice. The author presents a very biased sample of women who I do not believe are representative of the greater population of people with fibromyalgia. Most (thought not all) of the women in this book identify themselves as sick and disabled, have stopped working and many come off as feeling sorry for themselves. I believe one can have a medical condition without being "sick" all the time. I also think that ... Read More
