My Professional Experience and Background

Hi. My name is Anita Murray. Here's a little info about me.

Why did I choose to work in the Health Field? After being told there was nothing the doctors could do for my Fibromyalgia, I went on a quest, determined to recover. It is now my life’s purpose to help others to relieve their pain and fatigue, as I have been fortunate to do, so that you no longer experience chronic health problems and can enjoy the life you deserve.

Education: I have Professional Coach Training with Certification pending in 2006. In 1993 I acquired a Comprehensive Nutrition Diploma from the American Academy of Nutrition, which allows me to customize a way of eating for you that fits easily into your lifestyle, catering to your unique needs, so that food can help you feel energized and alive, instead of craving and deprived. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree and am constantly looking to further my education regarding health and natural healing.

Work Experience: As a Professional Health Coach and a Nutritional Consultant and Educator for 13 years, I continually grow in my knowledge of how to overcome chronic illness. I am the Founding Editor/Owner of FibromyalgiaHope.com, where I help thousands of visitors with Fibromyalgia regain hope, take action to improve their lifestyles, and thus reduce and eliminate their pain and fatigue.

Areas of Specialization: I help people with Fibromyalgia to identify what is causing their chronic pain and any other symptoms, while assisting in the process of making lifestyle changes that bring back the ability to enjoy doing whatever your heart desires in life, while taking away your suffering. I am an expert at targeting your symptoms with nutritional relief.

All in all, I soak up anything related to health. I have a strong belief that chronic conditions need natural, alternative treatments that look at the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.

Western medicine has it's place in treating acute conditions. But I do not agree with covering up symptoms of chronic illness with a band-aid of prescription drugs that leave a person with side effects. There is a place for prescriptions, but I'm amazed at the long list of side effects that accompany some of these commercials for prescription medications on TV. How can that be better?

I believe that the body can do amazing things, given the right tools. Nutrition is a major factor, so is incorporating movement into your life along with having a hopeful state of mind.

The process of healing is sometimes two steps forward, one step back and there will be some trial and error involved in finding out what your unique self needs to heal. If you have patience, persevere and believe, you will get better. There is hope. Contact me below and I'll do my best to help you discover what's causing your pain and how to diminish it, naturally, from it's source.

New: Anita has been hand-picked as a VIP Member, ranking in the top 5%, of Cambridge Who's Who in 2007.

My Fibromyalgia History

I was in a car accident in 1985 at the age of 21. It was a mild accident, but within ten days, I could hardly move. My muscles were extremely tight. The biggest step I could take was heel to toe. I could barely touch my knees. I had chronic pain that roamed throughout my body, to different areas, daily.

When I stood up, after about a step and a half, my back would crack and the pain would run up my spine and explode in the middle of my head, almost bringing me to my knees every time.

I was given an 85% disability by a chiropractor who said, "There's nothing I can do for you." Another doctor gave a more conservative 40% disability a couple of years later.

I spent 6 months in physical therapy, walking out worse than I went in every time.

It took two years to get a diagnosis of post-traumatic myofascial pain syndrome. I know a lot of you have waited longer than that for a diagnosis. The term fibromyalgia wasn't coined until a few years later.

My doctor would check my trigger points at each appointment and leave me shaking with pain when I left the office.

I particularly remember extreme pain every time I grabbed the jar of peanut butter out of the cupboard above my head (hey, I was on a college budget!).

I was unable to sit or stand for more than 10 minutes. Long waiting lines were excruciating. I had to explain to my professors why I was being disruptive, standing up and sitting down throughout classtime.

I slept a couple hours at a time, trying various positions to get the pressure off my trigger points.

Cold, damp weather made everything worse.

It was during these years that this phrase really struck home for me:

Faith was the only thing I had. The doctors didn't give me any hope. They each said, "There's nothing I can do for you."

I just had to keep believing that I would never be put through more pain than I could handle. I want you to believe this, too. There is hope and it is here, at FibromyalgiaHope.com.

About three years after the onset of my fibromyalgia, I started studying and practicing yoga. I also found a good chiropractor at this time.

Three years later, I started taking food supplements. They had a 30-day money back guarantee, so I decided to try them--and get my money back in 30 days. To my complete surprise, I got rid of all my chronic pain that I had lived with for six years. It was truly a godsend.

These are the same supplements that make up my Basic Fibro Supplement Program. You may need more or less than I did, but quality is the key. Supplements are different. Take my 30-day challenge and see!

My fatigue was more of a mystery, and took me a long time to alleviate, but is fine now. Stick with me and I'll help you uncover your own keys to wellness.

I no longer consider that I have fibromyalgia. That's my goal for you--to put fibromyalgia in your past.
