Beautiful and informative read about life with fibromyalgia by my friend Elaine. Elaine is a former registered nurse who has loved with fibromyalgia since 1989. There is no better person to learn from than Elaine. She uses her education and lived experience to assist fibromyalgia patients in living a life beyond Fibromyalgia.

Elaine shares tried and true ways to reimagine life while living with Fibromyalgia. While this doesn't get into all the physical logistics like her mentor Dr. Ginevra Liptan's Fibro Manual does, she does wonderfully explain how the mindset affects us when living with FM/chronic pain. She gives some simple, yet profound ways to go about making changes that can impact the quality of our lives and help us to find as much balance in this new journey with a chronic illness. She gives us hope that we don't have to just resign to a life of limits, but can find new purpose and ways of FULLY living.
