Fibromyalgia: Functional Medicine Dr & Supplements Helped Anyone?

I should add also that, because I am able to stay home rather than try to work, which would be impossible for me, I have so far been coping without either prescription or OTC pain medication, and without CBD.
I have used mindfulness and meditation per the book The Mindfulness Approach to Pain and over time developed the ability to be more positive and grateful despite being rather miserable most of the time and cognitively in such a fog as to be half the person I used to be.

I am so happy you are finding your way versus taking a lot of medicine. I resisted all the medicine offered to me for Fibro, until I was desperate and could no longer work a regular job or keep a schedule. But I have have had recurring and then chronic back pain for 25 years before my Fibro diagnosis in 2000. So I am grateful for the easing of the symptoms on "some" days. But I also found that having a nasty disposition due to pain, makes you lose people in your life! I found hope with Progressive Muscle relaxation and guided meditation. I also added tapping for emotion release. These things, done daily, absolutely changes my very high pain levels, to tolerable pain. Take care of yourselves!!

Who is the author of this book? I tried to find it on Amazon, with no luck. I can relate to many of your comments. Thank you.
