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.
