Its extensive set of healing tools included targeted bodywork for painful trigger points and strategies to helpccope with chronic pain and sleep problems and the numbing effects of fibrofog. More than 75 percent of the second edition is new or updated material, including coverage of promising new research on the causes of fibromyalgia, evaluation of new treatments, complete discussions of special issues for women and men, and the latest information on medication. An update of the first edition's popular provider index helps sufferers select those practitioners who will take their complaints seriously and offer knowledgeable treatment advice.

Finally!! September 29, 2008
The information in this book is priceless to me. I have gone to many doctors to treat the myriad of symtoms that come with FMS, it has been extremely frustrating. Most physicians have the opinion that it is "just in your head", or even say they are "overwhelmed" with the list of issues. This book identifies and breaks down all of this information in an easy to follow format (alot of medical terminology, but read it thru a couple of times, you'll get it). I actually took it with me to see my doctor, with hi-lighted areas, to point out that what I'm going thru is an actual "condition". I'm still reading, and there are great tips on what to do and not do on dealing with this syndrome. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for the info on how to get back on track to living healthy!!

BEST cumulative resource I have found for Fibromyalgia! July 21, 2008
This is a well-written, comprehensive resource for anyone hungry for knowledge about this syndrome. I have the first edition as well, which is also awesome. The book has educated everyone from my dentist to my husband! Some of the Fibro symptoms are so unusual, that people start to think about your credibility after awhile. It is very frustrating! Many issues/symptoms have been explained or at least put to rest by looking them up in this book and feeling assured that I'm not crazy,(as many physicians still don't see this syndrome as having any medical foundation at all)! Thank you for writing and updating this book! It has saved several Dr. office calls and is a great source of information, support and relief for me.

Not just information but a working book July 9, 2008
I have learned so much about my conditions, trigger points and how to get good relief from pain. A must have for anyone suffering from fibromyalgia or pain from yet unknown causes. You might find out some startling things about youself and then be able to treat them or at least discuss with your doctor.
