1.0 out of 5 stars Filbromyalgia for Dummies, 15 Mar 2004
I purchased this book with a view it may help my condition. What a big mistake. A complete waste of money. Each chapter was a repeat of the previous with variations. I read the first 4 chapters so fast and my only thought was am I really going to learn anything new!!

5.0 out of 5 stars what a relief!, 30 Mar 2009

(REAL NAME)   
Finally! A book full of useful info that is straightforward and helpful. I've had fibromyalgia for 12 years, and have read just about every book on the planet on the subject. This is the one I go to most often for reassurance.

5.0 out of 5 stars once i got it, it was great :) The service i recieved was great too., 17 Jun 2009
By Ms. Catherine P. Jones (England, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although to start with i was sent the wrong book, i was not only allowed to keep that book, i recieved an email apologising as well as the intended book a few days later.
Once the mistake had been noted they were very polite and efficient, it was just a simple human error but they dealt with it amazingly :)
