It is estimated that 4-8 million people in the United States suffer with Fibromyalgia. Another one million also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Some statistics state that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia may directly affect 5% of the world's population.
I am one of the individuals in this growing epidemic. In 1997, after a chaotic year of intense medical and psychological testing, I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. I spent much of the last ten years in deep denial feeling alone, confused, frustrated, and angry. It has taken me a great deal of soul searching, but I believe that today I am a better, more centered person because of my experiences.
I've never been someone who dictates advice, so my book provides worksheets you can develop to tailor your personal responses to symptoms and crises. It is the good, the bad, and the ugly of my personal journey that I share with you, my fellow Fibromites. My hope is simple, that you will find solace and renewed hope in my words.

Tami Brady
Tami Brady conveyed the truth in her self-help book. Having the disease myself I am happy to see this book published. Tami has fully showed the impact of the disease and what it can do to your life. If you have FMS then you know just how the weather and everything else can go make you feel as if your body can not take anymore pain. The worksheets in the back have helped me cope with strategizing for some form of relief. This book is written by a FMS sufferer and who best to ask then someone who has the same problem.
She shows the path she has taken as she learned of the diagnosis,showing both denial and acceptance. Tami includes medications, resources, and other tolls that will help any and all sufferes of FMS. Anyone who suffers from FMS needs this book and I recommend it to everyone.
