Dr. Dan Beal, who is hosting this free workshop, will offer information on one of the latest techniques in treating fibromyalgia pain.

Stechly knows firsthand that living with fibromyalgia is not easy. In her book, she shares with readers how she defeated this horrific disease that affects 10 million people and how she has been pain free for four years.

Stechly overcame sleep depravation, adrenal fatigue, candida, kidney stones, irritable bowel syndrome, interstitial cystitis, hypoglycemia, thyroid imbalance, pH imbalances, and fog brain. Her book reveals how a change of diet, reduction of stress, positive attitude, spirituality, the use of vitamins and herbs along with many other anecdotes were used to find healing. A forward by Dr. R.W. Schubert, her family physician who assisted Stechly in her healing journey, provides testimony to the healing process.

Stechly serves as the marketing communication specialist for Guardian Angel Community Services in Joliet.
