Summary: Fantastic
Comment: Fantastic book - explains a lot. It was written by two people who have FMS and work in healthcare. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about this condition.

Summary: Informative BUT Depressing
Comment: Taking Charge of Fibromyalgia: Everything You Need to Know to Manage Fibromyalgia, Fifth Edition is a well written book and very informative, although there are places which could be slightly less technical and more for the everyday reader. I found myself checking a few medical terms on the internet to be sure I understood what it was trying to explain.
I particularly enjoyed the information provided concerning supplements and nutrition. I am very interested in working with my health care professional while complementing medical treatments/advice with doing what I can holistically/nutritionally to alleviate symptoms and problems.
I will say the section concerning dealing with your family about your condition borders on the ridiculous and seems to be better advice for patients with either a terminal disease or something degenerative and totally disabling. While fibromyalgia is not curable and it has times when it flares and you feel miserable, it is not completely debilitating and I don't know of anyone who has died from fibro. I know a bunch of people whom the disease has impacted their lives in some manner requiring some adjustment during a flare period but these book sounds like it is helping you prepare you family for constant vegetative state coma care.
Plus if I used some of the recommended things to tell my husband - he would hurt himself laughing. He knows I hurt - some days more than others. He knows I tire more easily during a flare. But I just can't see telling him it is ok to grieve the loss of a healthy me.

Summary: Best Book I Have Read Yet
Comment: You can really understand this book! I have 3 other books on this illness. I would have given it 5 stars if I didn't have this "fibro-fog" so may understanding is not at my best.

Summary: Very Informative
Comment: This is a very informative book for anyone newly diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It does not use a lot of complicated and confusing medical jargon. Instead, it is easy to understand and offers a wide range of potential treatments for this often misunderstood illness.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best book I've found to date.
Comment: This book is easy to read, both text and the actual structure of the book for those with arthritis in your hands. It has a section regarding techniques different doctors are currently trying. This is a book that offers alot of information, both for the newly diagnosed and those just looking for that "kernal" of new information that just might help. I highly recommend this book. I wish I had found this book three years ago. I wouldn't have so many books gathering dust.
