 This book is very helpful! Jul 04, 2010
By M. Smith
I purchased this book because it is written by a person who has fibromyalgia, so I knew she would understand what Fibromyalgia is about.
The book is small, but informative. It gets right to the point. The author, Clarissa Shepherd starts by explaining her experience with fibromyalgia. She goes to explain our sensitivity to chemicals and how diet can affect those with fibro.
She then lists supplements that can help with the advice of checking with a doctor before starting any supplements, which is very smart advice. She gives explanations of the supplements, making it very easy to understand to those of us who are not savvy with supplements.
She also adds some breathing exercises, cautioning the reader to start slowly and build up.
I really enjoy her natural approaches to help with Fibromyalgia. I am personally wary of the chemicals we put into our bodies and want to find a more natural way to help with fibro, along with the advice of my doctor.
The stamina exercises are very helpful and gentle. She also gives the advice for Fibro patients to be patient with ourselves and not beat ourselves up over our limitations.
I think this is a great book for anyone who has fibromyalgia, whether it be the person who has been diagnosed for years or for the newly diagnosed.

A common sense guide to refer to daily to keep u on track to wellness Jul 04, 2010
By Diana Hinkle
I spent the day reading Clarissa's book which was an easy read and so refreshing. I felt like I was reading my life story. She has included many easy methods we can all do on a consistent basis. I learned some new things and she reinforced me and encouraged me on others. A very encouraging and hands on book. I already took out my vitamins and starting taking them, and ordered the few I did not know wud help! A lot of common sense fills the pages; Esp. the vitamins and breathing/stretching techniques.
Thank you Clarissa!! PS Two of my family members have read the friendly user book and remind me did u do this or that? The book is so to the point and understandable!!

excellent guide! Jul 28, 2011
By ladygrad
This book is straightforward & very helpful. It is short & easy to read; very important for those of us with FM and CFIDS. Her suggestions really work! I started a couple of weeks ago and already notice a difference. My bad days are less intense & I have more good days than before. Thank you Clarissa!

Reading This Was Helpful and Easy Jul 22, 2011
By Vickie Rodriguez
I read this book twice. Having CFS, you don't grasp the written words easily. This book was written by a woman with CFS and Fibromyalgia so understands and lives the life. I met her through a social network website, so I feel I know her on a personal level and trust and respect what she has to say.
This book is not a cure and she says that right up front. It just helps us deal with the illness from day to day with a little more ease, little less pain, little less sadness and loneliness. It is easy to read and very short, but thorough. She may even answer questions you already have on supplements, exercise, breathing, and pain control.
Excellent read!!
