Fibromyalgia, a common disabling disorder affecting 2-4% of the population. Women more often than men do. Despite the condition's frequency, the diagnosis is often missed. This can be due to the symptoms that look like so many other diseases. Patients with Fibromyalgia face a daily battle. They usually ache all over, sleep poorly, are stiff on waking, and are tired all day. They are prone to headaches, memory and concentration problems (commonly called Fibro Fog), dizziness, numbness and tingling, itching, fluid retention, crampy abdominal or pelvic pain and diarrhea, and several other symptoms. Some have a few of the symptoms and are able to lead a somewhat normal life while others have every symptom and more. |

| The Journal of Rheumatology found that the quality of life for women with FM is worse than for those who have Rheumatoid Arthritis, osteoarthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or insulin-dependent diabetes. | |

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Myofascial Pain by Devin J. Starlanyl, Mary Ellen
Copeland GREAT BOOK! Fibromyalgia & Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome
offers the first comprehensive patient guide for managing these
conditions. You'll start by learning what FMS and MPS are, evaluating your
own symptoms, and identifying the tender and/or trigger points that are
crucial for treating them. The manual covers chronic pain, sleep problems,
and other "internal affairs," shows you how you can use your mind to
counteract physical symptoms and the numbing effects of "fibrofog," and
provides an extensive set of healing tools - including information on the
latest medications, a nutritional program, and tips for using bodywork and
other less commonly known treatments. Its comprehensive survival
strategies include suggestions for coping with family and work situations,
getting support, and dealing with the health care system. For the book,
