4.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, 31 July 2009
This review is from: Fibromyalgia For Dummies (Paperback)
A good, informative book. A little too American for my liking and had to skip through a bit that was irrelevant to non-American's, but otherwise has been very helpful.

Since reading this (and forgetting how the book started due to brain fog!!!), I have tried a few things suggested, cutting down on caffeine, getting more sleep etc and my symptoms do seem to have improved - maybe it's just because the weather isn't so hot and humid, or maybe because it works - who knows.

Would recommend it to anyone who thinks they may have Fibromyalgia, who actually has it, or knows someone who has it.
