Especially useful for newly diagnosed and those working through a self management program.

[Doodles McC · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good for help with chronic pain and illness management. Much depends on what we eat and exercise, good sleep. Clear, precise and well written. Useful.

[Kathy Lautenschlager · Rating 4 out of 5]

I haven't been diagnosed yet, but there is a possibility. This was extremely informative and helpful. Lots of little tips and tricks to make life easier. The author's writing style makes it easy for the layman to follow and understand.
