When people with Fibromyalgia first meet each other, there is almost a magical ability to immediately open the doors that lead to our innermost sensitivities, fears, and hopes. On the outside we may be perfect strangers, but given the opportunity to look inside and help each other, we may find that we are indeed perfect friends and comrades. Fibromyalgia has caused a lot of changes in our lives... We need to remind each other that we are not alone. From Fibromyalgia: Up Close and Personal by Mark J. Pellegrino, MD, Anadem Publishing, 2005. To order this book contact Dr. Pellegrino's practice directly at 330-498-9865.
