Editorial Review:

"Parting the Fog" is a candid, first person account of what it is like to walk in the shoes of someone suffering from fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome. It relays the seriousness of this condition in an easy-to-read manner, while employing humor and focusing on hope. It is a combination of prose and inspiring poetry. Each of the 17 short chapter ends with a personal page to enable sufferers to record their own thoughts and experiences, if they so choose. It also includes: a "Don't Ask-Do Ask" list for "Normals"; a letter to supportive people; a description of the treatment plan the author believes holds the best hope of recovery from symptoms; and chapters on perspective, faith, loss and hope. It is unique, personal, and will help others understand the struggles those with FMS/CFS are faced with. It is an important addition to the FMS/CFS sufferer's library.

If I'd have written a book , this would have been it!:

I found me on just about every page in this book, and you know what? I'm okay. This book is very validating and sometimes we need that. I'm glad the author took the time and ENERGY (of which we usually have a crisis) and brought this book together. We can look at ourselves and others with this affliction with understanding and mostly, compassion. For many it will be a new view of the fact that fibro changes you and your life but you still matter. Maybe it will soften the edges of the need to ask for help.... more info
