About me: I graduated from Tufts University School of Medicine and am board-certified in internal medicine. After developing fibromyalgia in medical school I was able to find integrative treatments that helped me feel much better. I share my complete treatment approach in my book The FibroManual [ Ссылка ]
In my videos I hope to inspire everyone dealing with #fibromyalgia to remember they are #fibrofierce!
