Title: Best FM Patient Self-Help Manual
Review: A FM patient brought to my attention a copy of this book several months ago, and I've recommended it to every patient in my practice who has Fibromyalgia (FM). This and the author's follow up book, The Fibromyalgia Advocate cover just about all aspects of FM in greater or lesser thoroughness. The book is based mostly on empirical information and experiences, but most fibromyalgia patients relate to it with a sigh of relief and comment, "I'm not the only one who experiences this!".My only criticism is that there is too much information in it for alot of FM sufferers to digest, and can confuse one as to how to prioritize the treatments. It is a welcome aid as a self-help and reference manual and I use it as such. I can mark the pages demonstrating the trigger points, exercises, and other "homework" that my patients can do to help themselves. In that it is very comprehensive.
