Reddit reviews The FibroManual: A Complete Fibromyalgia Treatment Guide for You and Your Doctor

YAYAYAYAYAY! I am SO with you, I only got diagnosed like a year ago.

As another person who is new to this (albeit someone who has absolutely DEVOURED research) I highly recommend reading The Fibro Manual. It was a FABULOUS introduction to fibromyalgia treatments to seek in a relatable way (author both has fibro and is a doctor). If you can't afford it, literally ask for it for Christmas, because it is THAT helpful.

Well, I can tell you that I was diagnosed with Fibro several years back. I never made a connection back towards my wtfcrazy family until a few months ago. I'm one who researches and tries to figure out ways to deal with it because I'm personally uncomfortable with the way meds make me feel.

I eventually stumbled upon a book written by a doctor who happens to have fibro. In it, she remarks in passing that she noticed that a lot of people who have syndromes such as fibro seem to have a higher liklihood of an abusive childhood. She suggested that perhaps it's because in an abusive childhood, the sufferer was never able to let go of the anxiety, which they then took into adulthood, where it just festers and causes all sorts of havoc.

Very interesting read, and to be honest, following the suggestions in the book has helped me.

If nobody minds, I'll link it here for anybody else who might be interested. It's more for fibro, but some of the things the author mentions are very interesting.
