<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: bold;"> Do you suffer with many different aches and pains? Are your main complaints chronic fatigue and muscle aches? Do you feel like you have the flu? Do you also suffer with any of the following:</span></span></div>

Anxiety, back stiffness, candida, can’t concentrate, depression, difficulty or inability to learn new information or skills, digestive disorders, dizziness, frequent skin rashes, more frequent bruising, hair loss, heart palpitations, hot flushes, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) low blood pressure, low body temperature, migraines/headaches, multiple sensitivity to foods, pollen, molds, medicines or alcohol, nerve pain, numbness or tingling sensations, pain in jaw area (TMJ), tinnitus, frequent ear infections, PMT, sensitivity to noise, bright lights, sensitivity to weather changes, sore throat, stiffness and aching in muscles, tender lymph nodes, struggle to absorb information, substantially impaired memory and concentration, thick foggy head, un-refreshing sleep or insomnia.<br />
<br />
In my book <a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/2136503">ONE STEP AT A TIME</a>, I explain how in May 2002 I became ill with the “flu” and went downhill from there. Its taken me six years to get my health back. I read everything I could get my hands on and spoke to many different therapists. FM and CFS is a serious and real illness – you can’t just leave it and take drugs – that does not work - you <span style="color: #cc0000; font-weight: bold;">have to make lifestyle changes</span>. Fortunately there are many things you can do and many professionals are there to help you.<br />
<br />
This is a drug free way to natural healing - sure its fine to take drugs to help now and then, but no good only relying on these and adding more and more to the mix when you keep on having more side effects from them. <br />
<br />
I diarised <span style="font-style: italic;">everything</span> from the beginning and the book is written in a month to month form. Remembering how confused, brain fogged and anxious I felt, I hope it helps to motivate, uplift and inspire you – even when some people may be negative or disbelieving (because they don’t actually have a clue about this illness) do not let this stop you in trying your very best to improve your health. Maybe you won’t have to do everything that I have, perhaps yours will be an easier and faster improvement – we are all different. This book will hopefully give you a broader and very general understanding of health problems – not only FM and CFS.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: red;">Just to announce</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-weight: bold;"> </span>that My second book called <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Starting over"</span> is complete. My book ONE STEP AT A TIME finishes off in September 2007 with me having improved my health about 70%. After this time, I went on to making new discoveries which have resulted in me getting my life back and becoming well again - see the bottom photo of me on the mountain!! So, STARTING OVER continues where the first book ends. It deals with some facts and figures (as before) but most of the book explains "my journey" through all of this and what I learnt - short stories of for instance: handling stress differently, coping with change, feeling thankful, are you a perfectionist?, watching your emotions, play like a child, opening up to people etc. I would like to include here one short paragraph as an example :-<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"> I believe we all have our lessons to learn in this lifetime and we must remember who we are deep down – before we got messed up with all our wrong thoughts that we accumulated over the years. Sift back through the many layers that you wrapped around yourself to protect yourself and start peeling them off one by one. As you do this, you will uncover things you said and did popping back up into your mind as I did!<br />Things you told yourself and things other people told you – your parents, your teachers, your friends – inspect and examine each belief – does it serve you now – have you spent years believing this? As you uncover and discard some of the beliefs, you will find yourself going deeper and deeper within and feeling lighter and lighter! More and more you will discover your joyfulness again – believe me this is the most important journey you will ever make – but it is not for the faint-hearted, it is for people who want to discover their joy again – for people who are not afraid of moving through their fears and false beliefs to come out on the other side filled with love, light and a sense of how beautiful everything is! If you are one of these people – ENJOY YOUR JOURNEY!!</span><br />
