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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to popular belief, the most frequent causes of neuromuscular, joint, or skeletal pain can be traced to your lifestyle: unconscious habits that involve the way you breathe, stand, and move and the way you store physical and emotional stress in your tissues. Given this fact, if you suffer from chronic pain, or treat people suffering from chronic pain, you may need to consider replacing expensive, often inefficient pain treatment with self-help methods for reversing the way physical, mental, and emotional stresses affect your muscles, joints, and bones. Effortless Pain Relief presents a unique mind-body program for overcoming chronic pain, developed by acclaimed alternative health-care practitioner Dr. Ingrid Bacci. In Effortless Pain Relief, you'll find a simple explanation of how stress creates chronic pain, along with clear, simple, and powerful self-help techniques for reducing and even eliminating pain. The guiding principle in this program for self-healing from chronic pain is to develop greater awareness of your body and sensitivity to it. You can change your lifestyle habits -- and eliminate your pain -- by adopting body awareness techniques that eliminate tension. Chapter by chapter, Effortless Pain Relief shows you how to release deep physical, mental, and emotional stresses through simple breathing techniques, to reduce consciously the effort and tension in your muscles, and to master and eliminate stressful emotions like fear and anger by learning to control the physical tensions that these feelings create. Dr. Bacci also guides you in a process that will allow you to let go of mental and emotional attitudes that unconsciously create stress and physical pain. She shows you how to release emotional conflicts that contribute to pain and teaches you how to conquer the fear of physical pain -- which can actually trigger pain. Dr. Bacci cites numerous case studies from the thousands of patients she has helped during the past fifteen years. She also tells the extraordinary story of her own complete recovery from three years of being bedridden and crippled from a severe case of the chronic pain syndrome fibromyalgia. The curative techniques through which she healed herself, and with which she has helped her thousands of clients achieve freedom from pain, are now available for everyone in Effortless Pain Relief. Dr. Bacci's groundbreaking, accessible program offers deceptively simple yet profoundly effective ways to leave pain behind, enhance your vitality, and find an effortless route to a pain-free life.

Download or read book Understanding and Treating Chronic Fatigue written by Joel L. Young and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-08-19 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some doctors still think Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a "fake" diagnosis. In this book, Joel Young, MD, presents the research, experience, and treatments that prove otherwise. Millions of Americans experience chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), a continuous exhaustion and a feeling comparable to that of having just run a marathon when all they have done is a daily living task, such as taking a shower or getting dressed. Doctors don't have tests for CFS, and some think it's a faux or psychological disorder. Joel Young, MD, in this heavily researched book, explains why it is a true physical illness and how it may be treated. He details how he successfully treats the symptoms, which can include severe fatigue, "brain fog," chronic pain, and sleep problems. Unlike doctors who recommend exercise, supplements, or opioid medications, Young integrates such options as long-acting stimulants, meditation, and dietary changes to reduce fatigue, as well as non-opioid drugs, medical marijuana, and self-help options including yoga for the associated chronic pain.

Download or read book How Many Marbles Do You Have written by Melinda Malott and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-11-07 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the book weve been waiting fora story for children of parents with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. In fact, I plan to buy a copy for all my loved ones, so theyll better understand what my life is like. It all depends on how many marbles are in my jar each daythe perfect metaphor for explaining the unpredictability and the ups and downs of Fibromyalgia and CFS. At the end of the book, Malott writes, a heart full of love is better than a jar full of marbles any day. Not only is this book informative and insightful, its a heart full of love in itself. Toni Bernhard, author of How to Be Sick A mom uses a brilliant jar-and-marble analogy to teach her son about her limitations related to chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and fibromyalgia. The book uses marbles, a toy all children are familiar with, as a measure of the mothers limited energy. Using a jar and some marbles, the author conveys difficult concepts in terms that children can understand. These concepts include taking preemptive rests to have more energy later, finding alternate ways to perform tasks that use less energy, and postexertional malaise. The concepts in the book are relevant to someone with one or both illnesses, and it can be applied to other physically limiting conditions as well. The book reminds the reader that although illness may limit a mothers activities, it never diminishes a mothers love for her children. The book is fun and yet realistic and will capture your childs heart.
