Freedom from Fibromyalgia

Can you remember when you first realized that something was wrong with you ... and it wasn't getting better?

The first signs of crushing fatigue began for me over 30 years ago, after a traumatic assault and its aftermath. As time went on, I added a laundry list of symptoms: sleep disturbances, IBS, numbness ... And worst of all, pain that felt like having a headache in every cell of my body. Is that what it's like for you?

Hiding Out at Home

Some years I was well enough to work outside the home -- even in highly demanding corporate jobs -- but then I'd crash again ... and spend the next few years at home ... so grateful that I could crawl under the covers whenever the fatigue and pain got too fierce to bear.

In the beginning, I was in total denial about my symptoms. Ashamed to even speak of them to friends and family. And way back then, there wasn't even a name for fibromyalgia. (Unless you count "neurotic hypochondriac," which is the cruel label many of us were given.)

In more recent years, I went for one test after another -- blood tests, a CT scan, colonoscopy, the works -- only to be told, "There's nothing we can do."

Because I am a writer, the hardest thing for me was the brain fog. I used to tell my doctor: "I could live with the pain and fatigue, if only I could get rid of the brain fog."

My symptoms seemed to come and go, for no apparent reason. And I would alternate between good days and bad days.

Even good and bad YEARS. (Sound familiar?)

I even ended up in the ER with sharp chest pains. Not a heart attack. Just Costochondritis (an inflammation of the cartilege that joins the ribs to the chest bone). Later I learned this was yet another malady common among people with fibromyalgia.

Then, by 2003, I began to feel that there were no "good" days. Until the fall of 2003, when I had surgery for a much-needed hysterectomy (which I wrote about here).

The curious thing about that time was that I was expecting the surgery to knock me for a loop, and make all the symptoms worse. But the reverse happened! During the six weeks of my recovery, I felt better than I had in years. What the heck was going on?

Then I resumed "normal" life, and wham! The brain fog, fatigue and pain were back with a vengeance.

But something had shifted inside me. I'd had a little taste of relief, and I loved it! How could I get it back? I did my best to recreate the ingredients of my recovery time, but with mixed results.

Then, I got MAD. I remembered that in some of the books I'd read on Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue, there'd be a tantalizing comment like: "And some people seem to recover fully."

I've always had the belief that if ONE person can do something "impossible," then so can others. Perhaps even me. So I set off to read EVERYTHING I could get my hands on that might give me a clue.

And that's not easy when there's a fog machine in your head. You know what I mean?

Is Fibromyalgia a Disease or Not?

Have you ever wondered: "If fibromyalgia is not really a disease, just a 'syndrome,' why am I suffering so much?"

Well, I believe that fibro and all its many -- seemingly unrelated -- symptoms are simply signs of a body that is dangerously out of balance, and crying out for help. And once we begin to think of those symptoms not as "the enemy," but as urgent messages from our own body/mind, we can begin to think and act differently. We can work together to make the essential changes that will lead to extraordinary wellness.

I've been there too. (For a long time, I didn't understand WHY I'd have some good and some bad days ... but now I do. And I'll share that with you too.)

The mind-numbing fatigue. The relentless pain. The mental fuzziness that made me feel as if my mind was mush.

And then there were all the extra symptoms that developed over time: the middle-of-the-night insomnia. (I was always so tired that I could get to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, but then I'd be wide awake at 3 a.m.)

Irritable Bowel Syndrome. (Good name for it, because it definitely made me irritable!)

But things are different now. I have my life back. And a wonderful life it is too.

Was it a new wonder drug? Nope. A miracle supplement? No again. (Although the right supplements may speed your healing.)

No, what I have for you is not a quick-fix of any kind. Just a simple, easy-to-follow, step-by-step program that I've used to transform every aspect of my life, to become a woman who is now virtually fibro-free.

This program taps into both ancient wisdom and some startling new ideas about self-healing that are just being discovered in the 21st century.

I call this program The Tired Woman's Guide to Freedom from Fibromyalgia. (The Guide is completely downloadable, so you can be reading it on your own computer, just a few minutes from now.)

Although this program has taken me several years of trial and error to put together, it now usually takes me just 15-20 minutes a day to maintain.

Listen, just a few years ago, I used to tell myself a "story" over and over again. That story was: "Fibromyalgia is incurable. Woe is me."

My new story is: "There is a WEALTH of healing wisdom available today. My only task is to find and practice the strategies that are right for me."

Not surprisingly, it turns out that our brains are way more complex and clever than we ever imagined. Scientists are discovering that it was our brain's response to sudden trauma (like an accident) and/or ongoing stress that created the fibromyalgia symptoms in the first place.

But we can tap into those same brain processes to reverse the imbalances, and return to good health.

So the plan is to connect you with that Inner Healer you already have, and put her to work for you.

The Freedom from Fibromyalgia program is like an insider short-cut guide to creating new-found wellness. My vision for you is that by following the simple steps in the program, you will supercharge your health, your relationships, and your life ... even if right now you can't even remember what Feeling Good feels like!

In The Tired Woman's Guide, you won't have to waste a moment reading yet again about how many millions of people are estimated to have fibro, about the 18 diagnostic tender points, or about how "mysterious" fibromyalgia is.

What's more, we're going to have some FUN, getting you well again. (Does it seem to you that you don't laugh as much as you used to? Well, we're going to put the sparkle back in your smile.)

What I call The Rainbow Road to Wellness -- 7 key areas of your life to focus on, to speed your healing. (Hint: You might not need all 7, but the more colorful your rainbow, the faster you'll improve.)
The Slight Edge Philosophy (and how it will help you keep on track). I have a feeling you're going to grasp the power of this simple principle instantly ... and be eager to put it to work for you, starting today.
Why you need a Toy Box in your bedroom, bathroom and office ... and exactly what to have in each of them
All about my (soon-to-be) World-Famous Teeter Totter Theory of Illness/Wellness ... and why you may be closer than you think to feeling good again

Although it took me a lot of struggle, setbacks, and wasted time and money to develop, my own program usually only takes me about 15 minutes of focused attention a day to keep me feeling good. (I usually do this first thing in the morning, to turbo-charge my day. But you may find last thing at night works better for you. Either way is fine.)

But to get to this point, I needed to experiment with every aspect of the Rainbow Road. Each color I mastered has added to my strength. I expect you'll find that too.

As you make your way through the program, you'll decide whether massive action (for quicker results), or slow and steady is right for you.

On the other hand, you can make a strong start on your wellness program immediately ... with the many options you'll find in the section called Fast and Free.

Am I completely "cured" yet? No. In Freedom from Fibro, I'll tell you "the crow story" ... during which I forgot everything I know ... and ended up in instant agony, that set me back for three miserable days. (More importantly, I'll tell you my plan to make sure that kind of setback never happens again.)

I'll also share 3 Steps I Still Need to Take ... steps that I believe will make me a powerhouse of strength in maintaining my good health and increasing my energy even further.

One more thing ... You're also getting what I call the Wellness Activation Kit -- a fun set of easy, fill-in-the-blanks forms that you'll use to make your Freedom program come alive.

One more thing ... and forgive me if I'm blunt ... this program is not for you if you are "comfortable" being ill.

It's simply true that there are some obvious benefits to conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. For instance, your family and friends may have fewer expectations of you, you may easily get out of burdensome social obligations, you may do less housework, or not have to work at a job or career.

If you would find it hard to give up such "advantages," no wellness program on earth will make any difference in your life.

But if you've made up your mind that "enough is enough," then you've come to the right place.

Look, I'm not an expert nor a medical professional. I'm a seeker, just like you.

What I do bring you is an introduction to simple strategies, new and old, that you may not be taking advantage of. Most importantly, I'll help you integrate new behaviors and changes into your life, so that you will quickly gain an awareness of what strengthens you ... and what weakens you.

Freedom From Fibromyalgia will give you the confidence -- and guidance -- to develop your own Inner Healer.

Even though I have some great recommendations, I don't have all the answers for you. But YOU DO! And together we'll bring them to light.

So your mission is to sign on for this ride down what I call the Rainbow Road to Wellness ... and my job is to steer you towards the paths that seem most promising. Paths that have worked for me and many others.

But Freedom From Fibromyalgia is definitely not a One-Size-Fits-All kind of program. That's actually what makes it so effective.

In the course of our time together, you're going to come to know and to trust your own intuition for exactly which healing tools are right for you. And at long last, you'll discover just how powerful you really are.

We both know the Internet's a great place for information, but it can be a bit overwhelming, don't you think? A few months ago, I Googled the word "fibromyalgia" and got 3.9 million pages of results. I just did it again now and got 5.4 million pages!

Okay, let's try "chronic fatigue". A few months ago, there were 7.4 million pages. Now there are 9.5 million.

Yikes! That makes me tired just thinking about clicking through all those pages, looking for the good stuff.

Well, by following this road map, you'll gain not just more INformation, but TRANSformation.

when your mind is clear (and you can scarcely remember what brain fog was like)
when you wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and energetic
when you no longer have to make excuses when refusing social invitations
when you have the energy to enjoy life again
