a book about making life more livable at home, at work, while traveling or socializing, and in one's personal
relationships.
She is a technical journalist and a charter member of the online Fibromyalgia Discussion Group.
In 1993 when she was diagnosed with FM, she was relieved to finally have a name for her condition but
frustrated by
the lack of information available, which led her to write
"Fibromyalgia: A Comprehensive Approach" (1996).
