Fibromyalgia: My Personal Experiences

Fibromyalgia - even the name of this incurable disease strikes fear in sufferers' hearts. In this short guide I talk about my experiences and the way I manage the illness. Chronic pain can be isolating and depressing but there are ways we can cope and re-join life. Learn how I quash the fear, relinquish the lassitude and find the buzz from taking back my life.
This guide does not replace the need for you to consult your healthcare professional but the self help tips can be used in conjunction with medical care. Always consult your doctor.

Kim O'Shea

I am a Paranormal Investigator who loves to write. I don't mind what topic, I'm just happy researching and writing. My "The Girl in the Shadows" series is loosely based on stories and experiences passed on by my father who grew up in rural Ireland during the 1940s and early 50s. I live in the Irish countryside surrounded by my pets and the beauty of the West Cork landscape.My interest in natural health comes as a result of living in such a beautiful, restful place.I have studied aromatherapy and worked as a sleep consultant with special emphasis on stress reduction. I have also studied forensic psychology and forensic science, both of which I find useful when evaluating paranormal investigations.

Why I Wrote This Book

When I was told that I had Fibromyalgia I had no real idea what the illness was and how it would affect me. I thought it was something I would recover from in time or get over and then be able to move on with my life.

I left the clinic, came home and googled Fibromyalgia. And then I fell apart.

The doctor had suggested medication and counselling, both of which I turned down. I told him I did not want to be reliant on drugs for the rest of my life and as for the counselling, the only thing wrong with me was I felt a little emotional.

I felt overwhelmed by the amount of information available about my illness and all of it seemed bad.

Finally, I gave in and went back to the doctor. Some pain killers, an anti-depressant and a course of counselling later and I began to get my life back.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic illness but that does not mean that I have to be a victim.

Neither do you.
