I'm enjoying your wonderful books. My friend is eagerly waiting for me to lend them to her, but I can't bear to part with them at the moment, they comfort me so much! I keep turning to them when I feel in the need for an up lift. Thanks so much for your books... I'm enjoying reading about myself!”

“In The Pain Behind the Mask, the author has courageously shared her personal journey through the debilitating mazes of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction. Her unique insights, especially of a fibromyalgic’s various surrenders to this disease, put words and give life to the common experiences of so many who suffer with these syndromes. This work greatly enhances group facilitation and discussion of our shared grief and recovery hope through the guaifenesin treatment.”
--- Margaret Silman, leader of North Carolina Fibromyalgics Recovering on Guaifenesin support group, Fayetteville, NC
“The Pain Behind the Mask was uplifting because Carol describes exactly how I feel. It’s like she got inside my head.”
--- M. Schallert, CA
"The special part of the book is that its author has been there and knows FMS personally. She has found hope for a future better life. I would say that one of "us" wrote the book."
---Judy Nowag, leader of North Carolina Fibromyalgics Recovering on Guaifenesin support group, Brevard, NC
