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.
