Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia

Every ebook here collects 50 first-person accounts of a single condition or treatment. Between them they cover fibromyalgia and the years many people spend being doubted, chronic fatigue that sleep does not repair, myofascial trigger points, chronic pelvic pain, complex regional pain syndrome, the joint pain and instability of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and pain that stays long after the injury that started it.

Others follow a route people try: pain reprocessing therapy, low-dose naltrexone, a spinal cord stimulator, an implanted pain pump. Writers describe the decision, the trial period, the setbacks, and what an ordinary week looked like a year on. Running alongside is the quieter material — pacing, work, money, friendships, appointments that went badly and the one that finally went well. Nobody claims to have solved anything; they simply say what their days are like. Each book downloads straight away as a PDF and an EPUB.
