Helping women with fibromyalgia, tired of being held prisoner in their own bodies, find hope and freedom
Treating your thyroid could improve your fibromyalgia symptoms. As I work with my clients, I find that they often have undiagnosed thyroid issues. The most common thing I recommend in a consultation with someone is that they get a full thyroid panel done by a good doctor who understands thyroid disease. Why?

It’s one of the best books out there for both the newly diagnosed and those more educated.

If we wait until we feel good before we start to get healthy, how will we ever get there? This is especially true for us fibromyalgia babes. We tend to feel pretty crappy most of the time, so if we wait until we feel good, we’re doomed!
