Description

When Susan Ingebretson found her health spiraling out of control, she wanted to know why. Her tenacious research into the causes of chronic illness led her through a maze of traditional and nontraditional healing methods. Ingebretson eventually connected the dots and found wellness. FibroWHYalgia is a half diary/half tutorial guide that exposes the facts, fibs, and fairytales of failing health and offers practical solutions. Included are detailed descriptions for making nutritional, fitness, and stress-relieving lifestyle changes.

Susan Ingebretson invites anyone with chronic illness to come down from the spectator seats and participate in restored health.

“Millions suffer with fibromyalgia and can benefit from the
detailed and practical resource guide that Susan Ingebretson has
compiled. Carefully following her advice will go a long way toward
helping resolve this illness, which is particularly resistant to most
conventional treatments that fail to incorporate the valuable
principles described in this book.”

“FibroWHYalgia simplifies the underlying physiology of fibromyalgia.
Readers will come away armed with an understanding of why they
might have this or another chronic condition and with lifestyle
strategies to navigate from illness to wellness. What I loved most about
this delightful book is Susan Ingebretson’s determination, wit, and
resilience to find answers to heal herself — despite a medical system
that provides little hope.”

“Reading FibroWHYalgia was like stepping out of a cold fog into the
warm sun. Susan Ingebretson cuts through the confusing muddle
of fibromyalgia information and misinformation, providing factual
encouragement that anyone can put into practice. This book is for
anyone touched by fibromyalgia or other chronic illness. Because
this encouraging, humor-filled book is backed by science and reallife
experience, every chronic illness support group should have
copies of this book available for its members. I keep multiple copies
in my practice’s lending library.”

“FibroWHYalgia is clear, practical, and enjoyable. In a style like
a comfortable conversation with a friend, Susan Ingebretson
