Fibromyalgia is a serious, debilitating and much misunderstood condition. Here in this very clear guide, its author, herself a sufferer, explains how symptoms range from pain in muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves, especially involving particular "Trigger areas", through a whole array of further problems including fatigue, insomnia, depression, allergies, IBS, headaches, stiffness, and problems with concentration and short-term memory.
She offers tried and tested advice on how to reduce pain, boost energy levels, and live with a measure of comfort. Further topics include diet, supplementation and exercise tips, the benefits of Yoga and exercise, and both orthodox and complementary therapies, including homeopathy.
This third edition also highlights the latest thinking about Fibromyalgia as a disorder of the Central Nervous System, and how this may trigger increased sensitivity to pain.
An invaluable resource for anyone suffering from or caring for a person with Fibromyalgia.
