Fibromyalgia and Chronic Widespread
Pain: How to Survive and Thrive
This book is the culmination of many decades of
clinical observation, patient experience, research, and collaboration with the
many communities involved with fibromyalgia and chronic widespread pain. The
book brings together the complex and multidimensional nature of fibromyalgia
and chronic widespread pain into a comprehensive and unified understanding. In
this book you will:
· Learn
where your pain and symptoms come from and why you have them. · Discover
how and why your pain and symptoms vary and change. · See
that what you do matters and find out how to fully take charge of the things
you really do control. · Understand
your sleep problems and how and why they affect you. · Ascertain
the interaction of your pain and symptoms with your psychological health. · Develop
an extensive insight into the mind-body-world-spirit-and-beyond approach to managing your pain and symptoms. · Master
the tools you need to take control of your pain, symptoms, life, and
well-being. · Establish
how to go forward on your path of recovery and wellness.
In
order to accomplish these goals, this book is uniquely written. It is in part a
reference book, a course book, a textbook, a self-help book, a how-to book, a
guidebook, a motivational book, and an inspirational book. But, most
importantly, the book is a journey of knowledge and enlightenment that gives
you the tools you need to take control of your mind, your body, and your world.
As
a journey, the unique and highly
interwoven concepts and information are carefully developed in a
step-by-step, foundational manner and each chapter develops concepts and the
groundwork for the chapters that follow. The book is based on sequential
learning and is most optimally
beneficial when read from beginning to end much like a course book,
guidebook, or textbook. You are encouraged to highlight, underline, mark up,
and make notes along the way to make the information and insights truly your
own.
