Those who are suffering from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue or numerous other Chronic Illnesses are facing some major problems that leave them at a serious disadvantage. -Most doctors don't know much about these illnesses and thus are not good at diagnosing them correctly and are very rarely equipped to treat them properly. -The underlying causes of these illnesses are mostly unknown. -The current conventional treatments consist of prescribing one or more of several medications that are really just combinations of pain-killers, nerve and muscle relaxants and antidepressants. These only serve to mask the symptoms. -The marketing and promotion of these drugs and other "treatments" give false and misleading information about what is causing your pain. They are construed to sell you something and make a profit rather than to improve your condition. -You can waste tons of your time and hard earned money getting tests that show nothing, seeing doctors that don't help, reading books that don't provide solutions, following protocols that don't cure you and taking drugs or supplements that don't improve your condition. The Solution is to have an advocate who has already been through it to help direct you to the best resources and information that can help you to actually recover - recover your health and recover your life. I spent more than 15 years dedicatedly working on how to deal with my pain and other debilitating symptoms and recover my health. I have traveled thousands of miles to clinics and seen specialists that treat these chronic illnesses. I've followed numerous treatment protocols. I've taken every imaginable supplement and many different drugs. I've read pretty much every book I could find on the subject. Among the vast amounts of over-hyped promotion I was able to find little gems and pearls of wisdom that were very helpful. This book gives a good description of Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lyme Disease, Lupus and other co-existing conditions that can often accompany these illnesses so you can better understand the symptoms. It is a culmination of all my years of work with which I can help others who are suffering. It covers: -how to relieve pain and pain management -how to lessen stress -how to improve sleep -how to avoid flare-ups -diets to follow and important supplements to take -information about hormones and hormonal changes -underlying causes of your symptoms -medications and drug protocols -treatments with natural remedies -travel tips and more. I want to help you navigate your way to health. There are solutions out there. There might not be one magic pill or a one-shot cure. But I have found very specific things that help, that make things better. And enough things making it better add up to feeling a LOT better. There are very definite underlying causes and these can be addressed for lasting improvement and recovery. There are all natural treatments that actually do work, so you don't have to be sentenced to a life of taking drugs to cover up the pain and other symptoms. You can get well I am healthy and happy today. I am in a good place. I sleep well, I work, I cook and clean and I am living a good life. It isn't perfect. Sometimes I have rough days. But I never expected perfect. I expected to get my life back. And that I did. Now I am doing all I can to help you get yours back too. I think that particularly people who are suffering, people who are in pain, shouldn't have to spend years and ungodly amounts of money to try and feel better. But that seems to be the deal here. So I decided, THAT'S IT I am now in a position where I can really and truly help others like me. So I have compiled a summary of everything that I have found that has helped to improve my quality of life. Now I can help others who are suffering. It's all in my new book. It's concise and easy to read and it is here for you.
Author Biography
Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2000 at the Mayo Clinic, following many years of self abuse - smoking, excessive caffeine, poor and erratic sleep, combined with lots of stress - Debbie embarked on extensive research, study and visits to clinics to better understand her condition and to recover her health. After years of trials, she mapped her own way to a recovery of her health. Considering all it took for her to find the answers to proper treatment and a recovery of her health, Debbie decided to write a series of books to make it easy for others to understand what is most important about health and to help those who are suffering with chronic illness. She founded HealthKick as a means of simplifying healthy living information and making it as easy as possible to eat and live using healthier habits. She wrote the book, "HealthKick, Easy Healthy Living Hacks" to accomplish this. The HealthKick website and blog www.HealthKick.info is also packed full of information, with more added almost everyday. Debbie also founded Fibro-Free, www.FibromyalgiaFree.org to provide helpful information to those suffering from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue or Chronic Illness. Her book, "FIBROMYALGIA, Chronic Fatigue and Chronic Illness; Navigating through the confusion and lies and uncovering the real solutions to recover your health" is a summary of the best information and treatments to be able to recover from these debilitating syndromes and diseases. Her next book, "Is Sugar Killing Me?, The Healthy Alternatives", focuses more on the dangers of sugar consumption as a leading cause of obesity and thus obesity related diseases and disabilities. Here she investigates alternatives to sugar, exposing the dangers of artificial sweeteners and explaining the best options in natural sweeteners. She then founded Sin Free Desserts - www.sinfreedesserts.com - introducing a line of desserts that are: free of sugar, free of any artificial sweeteners, wheat and gluten free, additives and preservatives free, low in carbs, high in protein, high in fiber and contain good omega 3 oils. In other words, ways to indulge that are actually good for you. While her loves are her husband, her dogs and her home and the Texas Hill Country, her passion is helping others, which she works at through her writing.
