Synopsis

"Fibromyalgia affects about 4 million US adults, about 2% of the adult population. The cause of fibromyalgia is not known, but it can be effectively treated and managed." Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Doctors have struggled for years to treat the pain, the fatigue and other symptoms of fibromyalgia. The list of symptoms and how they vary from individual to individual makes this task akin to hitting a moving target.

Eileen Moore has written a very personal account of her search to live with fibromyalgia without the use of prescription drugs. After years on an antidepressant, she thought there might be a way to rid her body of the drug and live without succumbing to pain and fatigue. Five years after stopping the use of an antidepressant, she hiked twenty-four miles across the Grand Canyon, a harsh and forbidding environment. This is a demanding hike that many people without a life-altering condition would refuse to consider.

Her philosophy on living with prescription medication is not for everyone. Yet, those who choose to take medication for fibromyalgia could benefit from the course she followed in regaining a healthier and happier lifestyle.
