Editorial Review: Product Description: "Parting the Fog" is a candid, first person account of what it is like to walk in the shoes of someone suffering from fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome. It relays the seriousness of this condition in an easy-to-read manner, while employing humor and focusing on hope. It is a combination of prose and inspiring poetry. Each of the 17 short chapter ends with a personal page to enable sufferers to record their own thoughts and experiences, if they so choose. It also includes: a "Don't Ask-Do Ask" list for "Normals"; a letter to supportive people; a description of the treatment plan the author believes holds the best hope of recovery from symptoms; and chapters on perspective, faith, loss and hope. It is unique, personal, and will help others understand the struggles those with FMS/CFS are faced with. It is an important addition to the FMS/CFS sufferer's library. Average Rating:

This book is very validating and sometimes we need that. I'm glad the author took the time and ENERGY (of which we usually have a crisis) and brought this book together. We can look at ourselves and others with this affliction with understanding and mostly, compassion. For many it will be a new view of the fact that fibro changes you and your life but you still matter. Maybe it will soften the edges of the need to ask for ...

Rating: - The best Fibro book out there!I bought "Parting the Fog" about 2-1/2 years ago along with about 15 other books on Fibro and found this book to be the absolute best! I was able to understand what I was reading unlike the other books that only doctors would be able to understand. The poems touched my heart and I could totally relate to almost each one of them in some way! I am so happy with this book that I tell everyone about it and have loaned it out to quite a few people in my support group. They have read my copy and loved it so ... Read More
