A Journey of Fibromyalgia, Resilience, and Hope: Living Well with Author Jenny S. Dunton

Enjoy this inspiring episode of The Autoimmune Hour, when Sharon Sayler and Jenny S. Dunton share the ins and outs, ups and downs of living with Fibromyalgia and other autoimmune conditions. Jenny, author of the uplifting "Fibromyalgia: A Journey of Self Discovery 27 Years Traversing The Unknown' was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia nearly three decades ago. Together, Sharon and Jenny tap into their experiences and challenges related to autoimmune and, expressly, Fibromyalgia, a poorly understood condition.

About 4 million adults have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in the U.S. (according to the CDC). Still, the number of those affected by it is likely much higher — and an estimated 75-90% of those individuals are women.

Sharon and Jenny chat about symptoms, treatment options, including alternative therapies and methods that have worked for them, diet, and the importance of meditation. While underscoring Jenny's efforts to comfort people experiencing isolation due to this often debilitating condition, Jenny advocates for comprehensive 'Whole Body' patient care and emphasizes the importance of
• Staying resilient through a hopeful and adaptive mindset,
• The emotional impact of a Fibromyalgia diagnosis,
• The role cognitive behavioral therapy has played for her,
• The challenges of diagnosing Fibromyalgia and so much more
