I Hurt Like Hell: We Have All Heard of Fibromyalgia, Now Hear It from Someone Who Lives It Every Day
Before I review this book, you should know two things: I am working on my Master's Degree in English, and I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
From an academic standpoint, this book is TERRIBLE. It's 30 pages long -- no more than a lengthy essay, really. The book has apparently not been edited at all. A quick google search of the publisher reveals that this book was published by a self-publishing company (whatever that means). If the author didn't repeat herself so often the book would be much, much smaller than 30 pages. It's frustrating -- let's leave it at that.
That said, I was able to finish this book because, as a fibro sufferer, I could relate to some of the things she said. For that reason, I would actually recommend this book to someone who wishes to know more about what it is like to have fibromyalgia, though I would give them a good disclaimer about the lack of editing. Unfortunately, there aren't many books about fibromyalgia out there yet, so this will have to do for now.
