And, while Fibromyalgia doesn't qualify as an autoimmune disorder because it doesn't cause inflammation, it has many similar symptoms such as pain all over the body, sleep disturbances, and fatigue. In this informative interview, Dr. Dorothy shares with us why Fibromyalgia is so hard to diagnosis plus• Why other conditions are mistaken or mislabeled as Fibromyalgia• Is there really a Fibromyalgia personality? • Tips and techniques to optimize your healing journeyplus so much more... including her motto that 'Life is about living it, not about surviving it.'Our guest Dorothy A.
