Publisher's note

A comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia -- vital help for the millions of people suffering from pain, fatigue, and sleep problems

An estimated 6 million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia and 800,000 have chronic fatigue syndrome. Both conditions are characterized by severe and widespread pain, debilitating fatigue, and difficulty with concentration and memory. Getting diagnosed can be particularly difficult, and patients must then navigate conflicting information and the latest fads in order to choose from among dozens of treatment options.

In her trademark accessible, easy-to-follow style, patient advocate Mary J. Shomon explores these often confusing conditions, highlighting the pros and cons of conventional and alternative approaches, giving you tips for developing a recovery plan, and providing clear direction and solutions for sufferers of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.

Annotation

Some diseases--for example, cancer, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia--require of their sufferers an enormous undertaking: educating oneself about the disease's symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. This can be a daunting task. Mary J. Shomron has read and synthesized the ever-growing medical literature on chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. In this comprehensive medical guide she presents the information that the patient needs to know. As more research becomes available it both clarifies and expands the issues, and Shomron helps readers navigate through the conflicts concerning just what these two diseases are (or if they are the same), what they should be called, and the difficult matter of diagnosis. She is clear on the range of treatment options in both conventional and alternative medicines, including info on yoga, massage, exercise, emotions, nutrition, and workplace issues. Shomron is described as a patient advocate. She fulfills this role passionately in her attention to everything related to these diseases, but dispassionately in her presentation of a wealth of material.
