Profile Information
- About Me:
- I have a unique combination of qualifications, with over 20 years of experience in providing practical, easy to understand health information. As a fibromyalgia patient, I have put together a lot of useful tips through both research and first-hand experience.
It took me three years of pain and searching to get a doctor to tell me what was wrong, and countless trials of medications to be able to get up and go to work each day. I started putting together information about fibromyalgia and gradually learned about things that helped. Through my experience as a health information/communications worker, I was able to understand and organize the information in a way that I realized would be helpful to others.
