| Each of us is born with a connection to a divine essence. When we look at women's lives across cultures and life-stages, we can see that spiritual essence. Yet, in our everyday lives, we often lose connection. For each of us, rediscovering our shared and particular essence is our true life's work. Remember Who You Are is a book to help us do just that.
In Remember Who You Are, Linda Carroll shares her own discoveries and wisdom gleaned from other women's lives and art, especially poetry, to guide us on a seven-stage journey of recollection, reconnection, and recovery.
The stages, Forgetting, Remembering, Exploring, Practicing, Shadows on the Path, Reclaiming, all lead to Accepting, a condition woven throughout the stages. It is the knowledge that we never completely arrive. We are always on the path. We are always forgetting, exploring, practicing, struggling, becoming, and remembering who we are. | ||

| Fibromyalgia is a common and chronic medical disorder
characterized by widespread pain and often coupled
with other symptoms such as fatigue, disturbed sleep,
chronic headaches, and other ailments. Recent research
shows that the disorder is directly related to decreased
levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. The solution,
renowned rheumatologist Dr. David Dryland argues, is
to regulate levels of dopamine in the body through an
"off-label protocol" using the FDA-approved medications
Mirapex and Requip, which help mute pain
signals traveling from the body to the brain. This vital
and necessary book will also show readers how to:
- develop a protocol to successfully treat fibromyalgia
- identify what causes the disease and its debilitating
flare-ups
- determine which symptoms can be attributed to
fibromyalgia and which cannot
- use non-drug treatments for relieving the painful
symptoms of the disease
- and more. | ||
