If you are one of the estimated 4 million people in the United States who are suffering from fibromyalgia, then you know it is real. If you don't have FM, you will, at a minimum, gain a deeper understanding of what you or your loved one is experiencing. If you do have FM, you will feel validated for what you have had to endure. You also will receive actionable steps you can take to thrive, not just survive with FM and its related disorders. You will also learn practical and realistic strategies for conquering your fibromyalgia.BIODr. Michael Lenz is a practicing physician in Waukesha county, Wisconsin.

Book Description
This book was written by Fibromyalgia patients from around the world. The chapters range from an individual's journey with fibromyalgia, to interviews, a visual chapter of our illness, special chapters and graphs showing fibro symptoms. The purpose of this book is to inform the newly diagnosed, patients, family, friends and yes, doctors, to recognize and learn the symptoms and helpful solutions of how to deal with this illness. Once the population is more educated, we all pray a cure will be found. One symptom alone runs through us all, PAIN. It is time for everyone to recognize Fibromyalgia as a valid illness. Like the canaries in the coal mines, we are the tip of the iceberg. Due to environmental toxins, GMO foods, chemicals added to vitamins and medicines, trauma/stress in daily life, ALL these elements woven together WILL eventually affect each of us. Our sensitivities, allergies, exhaustion and pain will continue to spread. Let's not allow this illness to control future generations. The time to stop the suffering is now.

Book Description
From September 1990 to June 1991, the UK deployed 53,462 military personnel in the Gulf War. After the end of the conflict anecdotal reports of various disorders affecting troops who fought in the Gulf began to surface. This mysterious illness was given the name “Gulf War Syndrome” (GWS). This book is an investigation into this recently emergent illness, particularly relevant given ongoing UK deployments to Iraq, describing how the illness became a potent symbol for a plethora of issues, anxieties, and concerns. At present, the debate about GWS is polarized along two lines: there are those who think it is a unique, organic condition caused by Gulf War toxins and those who argue that it is probably a psychological condition that can be seen as part of a larger group of illnesses. Using the methods and perspective of anthropology, with its focus on nuances and subtleties, the author provides a new approach to understanding GWS, one that makes sense of the cultural circumstances, specific and general, which gave rise to the illness.

Book Description
Worthy 2.0: A Journey of Finding HER (A Black Sheep Manifesto) is a very personal look into the life of someone who started enduring abuse at a very young age. It took a long time for Shaynicorn to find a way through the trauma and grief, but she was determined that her life was worth more. She became focused on recovery and resurgence, but still slipped back sometimes, as healing is never linear. Shaynicorn’s healer told her, “Stand in your power and speak your truth,” so she created four steps to help as she worked to heal her inner child. Worthy 2.0 tells her story and also gives hope and a path to those who are looking to heal, as well. Shaynicorn shares the healing model she developed over her evolution of going from abused, perfectionist, angel child who was afraid of everything to who she is today: still a little damaged and still a little broken—but free. Shaynicorn was a victim of physical, emotional, and psychological abuse. She is disabled and was ashamed, but not anymore. Now, she is a trauma survivor, fibromyalgia warrior, and disability advocate. She is an unapologetic, powerful human being taking up the space she deserves and earned. The past no longer defines her, but it made her the badass she is today. Feel hope from the words of her truth that there is freedom from pain, trauma, and the past. You are the writer of your story, so take charge!

Book Description
Christians are sometimes ashamed to admit when they are hurting due to depression and/or chronic illness. It may be suggested that a person suffering these maladies is not praying enough, serving enough, or trusting God enough. These beliefs only serve to further isolate a fellow believer who is in pain. This book was written to encourage battle-weary sufferers of depression and chronic illness, to let them know that they are not as alone as they may fear, and to assure them that God will see them through their struggles.

Book Description
“If words have the power to heal, this book is the perfect medicine” (Alex Howard). “Honest and heartfelt poetry, telling a story that needs to be heard” (Steven Camden, Polarbear). This beautiful book takes you on a poetic journey through the wilderness of CFS/ME/Fibromyalgia. Each poem is a little window into her soul. Charlotte Jones bares all in this inspirational story of hope and healing. These poems not only cover the pain and despair of living with such a debilitating illness but also highlight the joy, love, peace, and acceptance she finds along the way. When dealing with extreme emotions, words repeat rhythmically in Charlotte’s head over and over, until she releases them onto the page in the form of poetry. This has resulted in a raw, heartwarmingly honest, and sometimes humorous insight into the life of someone with CFS/ME/Fibromyalgia. By sharing her story, Charlotte hopes to help tackle the loneliness of those in its grasp, give those around them an insight into their journey, and raise awareness of the illness. “I laughed out loud and had tears streaming down my face all at the same time.” “I felt so connected to it.” “At last, a book that really helped me understand.” “A beautiful read, capturing the daily life of CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia with passion and honesty.” “A courageous book, written from the soul.”

Book Description
This book unpacks and interrogates dominant constructions of mothering, making use of interdisciplinary, ideological and theoretical perspectives to investigate how new rhetorics of mothering can expand the realm of maternal care-givers beyond the biological definitions of motherhood. This diverse collection is at the cutting-edge of rhetoric, feminism, and motherhood studies, and the chapters challenge the confines of biological parenting as heteronormative within the neo-liberal nuclear family. The contributors examine, how despite the diversity of parental relationships, many are excluded by the understanding of mothers biologically tied to their children. The volume seeks to expose the underpinnings of biological primacy and argues that 21st-century families and familial circumstances are ill-served by biological ideology. Topics include Re-Imagining Queer Black Motherhood, Chicana Feminist approaches to reproductive justice, the commercialization and medicalization of infertility, and ableism and motherhood. This is a unique and fascinating book suitable for students and scholars in gender studies, sexuality studies, communication studies, sociology, and cultural studies.

Book Description
“When disabilities of any kind are discussed, what you’re really talking about are people: flesh and blood, breathing, thinking, feeling people. We are all different. We share symptoms but our experiences in life, beliefs and lifestyles are unique to each of us. Welcome to myfibromyalgia.” There are millions of people the world over who suffer terrible pain and fatigue every day, having developed a severely disabling condition. On the outside they can look as if nothing is wrong with them. They are insulted at best, misled at worst, by fake news and bogus health websites, self-styled wellness gurus and a thankfully diminishing number of doubters, even some doctors, who rank their illness alongside fairies, the Loch Ness Monster and UFOs. But this illness is real. These people have Fibromyalgia Syndrome, or FMS. The American Chronic Pain Society estimates three to six per cent of the global population has FMS – that’s between 200 million and 400 million people. Between 75 and 90 per cent of fibro sufferers are female, with many people thinking of it as a ‘women’s disease’ – but men do get it, a fact not often acknowledged. This is a book that is both informative and involving. It tells the truth, from the perspective of a patient rather than a doctor, about what it's like to live with fibromyalgia. It isn’t a textbook devoid of personality but the living, breathing testimony of a real FMS sufferer. Andrew Hinkinson presents a highly personal and frank account of the symptoms and possible causes of FMS while examining the statistics and outlining the challenges he’s had to address and overcome in his own life in fighting the illness.
