Product Description

Review
On previous edition: "Dr. Wallace has treated hundreds of fibromyalgia sufferers, and he clears up much misunderstanding about a disease that has sent six million Americans to doctors with complaints that often get them turned away or treated for depression.... Apart from his clear descriptions of the basic science behind the disorder and the new drug treatments available, Dr. Wallace emerges as a strong advocate for those plagued by it."--The New York Times


Product Description
This is an inviting and succinct guide to fibromyalgia, a syndrome that affects 6 million Americans annually. Fibromyalgia is a form of chronic neuromuscular pain, a pain-amplification syndrome brought on by abnormal interactions between hormones, the immune system, neurotransmitters, and the autonomic nervous system. Often misdiagnosed, and widely misunderstood, the majority of patients are turned away from doctors or treated for depression. In their earlier books Making Sense of Fibromyalgia and All About Fibromyalgia, noted medical writer Janice Wallace and Dr Daniel Wallace, a leading expert on this disorder, provided comprehensive guides - for both patients and professionals - to this little known and poorly understood syndrome. Now, in Fibromyalgia, the Wallaces provide an inviting and succinct version of the syndrome laid out in clear and accessible language. The authors provide a clear, concise explanation of the syndrome and its symptoms, and outline latest treatments. Fibromyalgia addresses a desperate need for concise, accessible information on this syndrome and offers reassurance to patients and their families.

5.0 out of 5 stars fibromyalgia an Essential guide for Patients & Their familie, 17 Nov 2003
By E. Millard (england UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this easy to read book, that covered a lot of the ins and outs of fibromyalgia, understandable for both the patient and family with good discriptions and a few illistrations too, it has much info about alternative treatments,including accupuncture, herbs, why exercise hurts you more, also why exercise can help you, the problems with sleeping, fibromyalgia and work issues and rights and how to help yourself with all the issues the book covers. it mentions other illnesses similar to FMS, as well as those that often accompany FMS like IBS. about how it affects people of different ages, medicines often prescribed and the side effects, why you have allegies to foods, meds etc the stages you go though, denile, depression, anger acceptance, becauses its like a breavement, this book helps you understand why you feel like that, what to do, why its ok and your not crazy to feel so ill and its not in your head as you might have been told, your family can understand better and maybe cope better themselves why you can be so ill and disabled some days or even some hours and other times better. It is also a good book I feel for the medical professions, they can understand a patient better and better knowledge leads to better doctor patient relationship, also useful to any person even dentist to understand about the condition, education can only lead to better treatment of the FMS patient. I rate this among the best of the many fibromyalgia books I have read
