Fibromyalgia - Healing From Within
If you are reading this article, most likely you or someone close to you suffers from fibromyalgia. You may be fed up, tired of the endless search for a treatment and missing the healthy life you once loved.
I know what you are going through. I am acutely aware of this struggle. As an active sixteen-year old high school student, I began to experience the debilitating symptoms of fibromyalgia. I felt victimized as I could no longer participate in running cross-country, playing soccer, and waterskiing in the summers. Some invisible force, it seemed, had taken over my body and I felt powerless to intervene. Using a wheelchair because I could not walk long distances and sleeping fourteen hours each day characterized my lowest point. Frustration came easily, especially as I walked the long confusing road in search of treatment. Effective treatment varies from person to person, but one strategy I have found universally applicable.
