From the author: When I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia (FM) everything I could find written about it was in medical jargon and not very informative or reassuring. In writing this book, I learned to control my own case, and developed a set of techniques for figuring out what works for me and what doesn't. After dealing with subjects such as sleep, pain management, families, and intimate relationships, I present medical and non-medical ways of managing FM, and teach the trouble-shooting technique that I developed to help myself. |
