When they were first documented in the medical literature, fibromyalgia (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) were thought to be little more than psychosomatic complaints. Sufferers were repeatedly told nothing was medically wrong with them, though they slogged through life chronically exhausted and crippled with pain. But times have changed. Medical professionals now recognize that FMS and CFS are very real and highly individualized medical conditions, which require dedicated and attentive care. Many of the first books about FMS and CFS sought to tell readers with the medical establishment didn't want them to know, but people with FMS and CFS no longer need to be liberated from the secret stigma of their condition. Now they need to learn what they can do to start feeling better. This book takes FMS and CFS out of the shadows and explores treatments for each that really work. It begins with an overview of FMS and CFS, offering a simple explanation of what is known about these conditions. Then describes and evaluates most available therapies, both conventional and alternative. The book even addresses emotional problems that can accompany FMS and CFS and offers ways to overcome them. You'll learn to assess symptoms and customize a treatment approach that meets yourr own personal symptom profile. Instead of working against the system, you'll be able to use the treatment resources available to them to start feeling better and to stay that way.
