Strategies: A Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia Journey

It is estimated that 4-8 million people in the United States suffer with Fibromyalgia. Another one million also have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Some statistics state that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia may directly affect 5% of the world's population.

Tami Brady is one of the individuals in this growing epidemic. In 1997, after a chaotic year of intense medical and psychological testing, Tami was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. She spent much of the last ten years in deep denial, feeling alone, confused, frustrated, and angry. It took her a great deal of soul searching, but she believes that today she is a better, more centered person because of her experiences.

Tami has never been someone who dictates advice, so her book provides worksheets you can develop to tailor your personal responses to symptoms and crises. It is the good, the bad, and the ugly of her personal journey that she shares with fellow Fibromites. She hopes that readers will find solace and renewed hope in her words.


"This book is a passionate, intense account of one person's conquest over suffering. As a psychologist working with chronic pain sufferers, I can endorse Ms. Brady's philosophy, approach and tools." -Bob Rich, PhD, author Cancer: A Personal Challenge
