Living With Fibromyalgia Ebook

About The Author

Anton Weeding

Anton Weeding had a long career as a landscape gardener.

He also has been an enthusiastic author for years but this is his first book.

Members of his family have suffered this debilitating condition and Anton wrote this book to provide others with the information he gathered from their experiences and his research on their behalf.

Anton hopes that his writing will help readers and their families.

He says that maintaining a positive attitude, being patient and following the medical and exercise regimens can be very difficult because of the fatigue and pain.

But, there is more research being done on treatments for fibromyalgia and relief is possible even if a cure may be further away.
