This book is both perfectly practical and intensely personal. With a blend of how-to, the author's story and learning intertwined with action points so that readers can start today with little steps toward better wellness immediately.
"Your content and resources are so useful and digestible for the brain fogged mind. So needed." -Latoya
This book outlines the author's journey from a young person struggling with unidentified pain, fatigue and insomnia to being in the best health she's ever experienced in her late thirties (after four children). Starting with the pillars of her improvement, she combines research with her personal experience.
This book will inspire you, educate you and leave you with a checklist of things to incorporate into your healing journey.
Melissa has been sharing this journey for eight years on www.melissavsfibromyalgia.com and she has helped many people at different stages of their wellness story. This book is a concise compilation of her key recommendations.

Praise for Melissa vs Fibromyalgia
"I wish this book had been around when I first got diagnosed."
Deb, a Fibro Fighter
"This book is a very interesting read. It is packed full of information that is easy to understand and apply. The book
reads quickly and doesn't weigh you down with heavy text. Melissa is a brilliant writer and I enjoy her work. I recommend
her book if you have fibromyalgia or know someone who does."
Jessie
"Another fine book by Melissa Reynolds. I like that every chapter is stand alone. You can start anywhere and go anywhere.
You can read from back to front if you want."
