Hey Joanie, with us, if it's not one thing, it's 10 others. Many of us have multiple autoimmune diseases like you do, and I'm Canadian too! Sorry to hear what you're going through. I hope you'll feel better soon.

I am loving this book and your right about Fibro Bible. It's about as thorough as you can get. Sorry I haven't been on much but I am so sick at the moment. It started out with flu about 2 weeks ago then a broken tooth got abcessed which apparently caused me to get really bad sinusitis so I'm a mess I'm on antibiotics and I'm taking acidophilus with them and forgot and took them without food and was sick as a dog. Just can't win lol.

Joanie, that book is the BEST! Most of us with fibro call it the Fibro Bible. Illustrations, written by an M.D. with fibro, every possible symptom and explanation, chapters about how to live with this in every  area of your life, how to apply for disability and get it the first try with fibro, GREAT book!! Thanks for mentioning it.

I just bought an other great book. "Fibromyalgia & Chronic Myofascial Pain" A Survivors Manual second edition.. It's a real must have.  

As far as non medical books. I have just started reading a series of books by an Irish Author now living in Canada. The first one is An Irish Country Doctor. I am glued to this first book and can't wait to read the others...

Here is a set of 2 fibro books that look interesting. It was posted in FB.

Have you been to numerous doctors, tried dozens of drugs, supplements, and therapies for fibromyalgia, but still suffer? Then take a look here: http://budurl.com/fibro2 <--- click here

Ok this book is what i think to be the best book written on the subject, and probably the only book written on the subject of how to maintain your marriage when one has a chronic illness. 80% of people in our situation end up single because no one is taught how to get through it. The authors are married. the husband is a psychologist and the wife has various auto-immune diseases. The website has articles, videos, interviews they did, and more about their book. The book is called "A Husband, A wife, and an illness". Christian content, and they continue to help and teach couples how to stay together through illness.

Here is a book called "What I learned Lying Down". It's about lessons we learn from being sick. It is Christian content. It is free for your computer or other gadget.

We learn many things from our illness.  It was great that she put it into words, because I after reading it, I did realize that I had learned more than I thought I did! http://amzn.to/A0Ert7 go to the right of that page where it says "Try it free".

I'm hearing everyone raving about "The Help", even my dyslexic daughter that we couldn't pay to read anything! So I am looking foward to getting that. I'm going to post a discussion up top of this group that tells how you can get free books, or books for $3.47 including postage.

There's a book that the fibro community call "The Fibro Bible". It's just wonderful. It's called "Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Syndrome". It is written by an M.D. with fibro, (Devin Starlanyl), and has tons of illustrations of what is happening to us. It mentions every possible symptom and why we have it. It's good enough to teach things to  your Dr. with. I bought a used one, and I use it every time there's a new problem that I'm not sure is Fibro again, or something else, sicne we also can get other illnesses like any other person.
