Fibromyalgia is listed as one of the top 10 most painful conditions in medicine, but many doctors still do not "believe" in it, or, if they do, they have a vague notion of a collection of mild symptoms that they attribute to stress, menstrual problems, weight gain, depression or hysteria. FMS (a common term for fibromyalgia) attacks men and women of all ages, even children, and varies in intensity. Because doctors do not like to treat conditions they don't understand, patients are often ignored, denied pain relief, shuttled off to other "experts", or filled with powerful prescription drugs that may add new and confusing symptoms. This book will help take charge of the condition and find trusted physicians in order to obtain relief.
