This is one of the first books i read on Fibromyalgia, my mum got it for me not long after us realising this is what i may have (before all tests were done).
The book tells you about signs and symptoms and what people have said who also have the condition. I took a picture of a section which related to me so much, it was as if i had wrote it. The worst thing about having a Chronic illness is people not understanding, due to this, friends/family either walk away or they get pushed away. After reading this book it hit me so hard that i was not the only one, its so hard being consumed in your own little bubble of pain, you don't always think there are more people going through the exact same thing. This is one instance where i think the Internet is amazing! It connects people from all walks of life, different countries and cultures, all joining together helping each other through the tough times, managing or coming to terms of the thought of having a Chronic illness, that is what we need, acceptance and understanding.
Have you got any books you could recommend?:) x
