Running Away From ME

Life doesn't have to be over when you are chronically ill, you just have to reinvent yourself and what you do... Fibromyalgia affects between 3-6 million people (of which 90%% are women) and up to 17 million people worldwide suffer from CFS/ME. The average timescale for recovery is 7 years. This story is proof that great strides can be made within a year if the right tools are used. This book is for anyone who is suffering from a long term illness, chronic pain, or depression and their families and close friends to offer hope with an optimistic message. The book does not prescribe a miracle cure, but instead explores the journey of the sufferer, and the real life issues that surround long term illness such as money issues, depression, claiming support packages and trying to keep a family together. The book was written during the worst part of the illness and describes in details the emotional and physical feelings that were happening at the time.
