Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder associated with overall body pain and discomfort. Although the condition is not a variety of other neurological disorders or even arthritis, it possesses some of the same symptoms. There are an estimated 10 million Americans suffering with fibromyalgia, and estimates suggest that three to six percent of the world's population have symptoms of fibromyalgia. The medical costs of treatment coupled with lost productivity have been estimated in the billions of dollars. The good news is that fibromyalgia is not progressive and is not fatal. Many sufferers report that the symptoms can improve with treatment and time. This accessible introduction to the disorder helps educate both sufferers and caregivers alike to the symptoms, potential causes, treatments, and outcomes of fibromyalgia. Addressing both traditional and alternative approaches, Naheed Ali offers hope and guidance for those seeking both understanding and possible paths to recovery. He focuses not just on the science and medicine behind fibromyalgia, but also on living well with it after diagnosis. Offering tips for lifestyle modifications as well as advice for caregivers, family, and friends, he ultimately provides a responsive and hopeful guide to this often misunderstood condition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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, that afflicts six million Americans every year. Often misdiagnosed, and widely misunderstood, the majority of patients are turned away from doctors or treated for depression. This guide offers expert advice to sufferers of this painful syndrome and gives them the education they need to get the help they require but rarely get. 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 they have studied, laid out in clear and accessible language. The authors provide a clear, concise explanation of the syndrome and its symptoms, and also outline the recent advances in treatments. Fibromyalgia addresses a desperate need for concise, accessible information on this syndrome and offers reassurance to patients and their families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personal Basics by Andrea Rose has been a blessing for those of us on the guaifenesin protocol. Andrea has created a line of high quality salicylate free products that not only take the guesswork out of shopping but also make it enjoyable! Kudos to Andrea for not only working her own program and regaining good health with guaifenesin but paying it forward and helping thousands get started on the protocol. I tell all of my new patients about the products by Andrea Rose. Many thanks! Melissa Congdon, MD Ill never forget the many FM patients that we have seen over the years that have had their lives turned around through the focused use of guaifenesin. As a physician who treats fibromyalgia patients with guaifenesin, I have found Andrea Roses salicylate-free cosmetics to be invaluable. Not only do these products work very well, they also save patients time and money. George Juetersonke, D.O. It is frightening to try to get cosmetics that do not block guai since so many products arent well marked. Thank you for giving us a safe alternative.
