Great Book by Chi (Texas, USA) 5 Stars
September 28, 2009
After exhausting my resources at the local library about fibromyalgia, I decided I wanted a reference book of my own. With limited funds I could only buy one book. I decided to buy Fibromyalgia: The Complete Guide From Medical Experts and Patients based on the reviews. I'm glad I chose this book. Even after spending hours on the internet I find this book actually adds to my knowledge of this awful illness. I was afraid that anything I bought would be out of date since research on fibro is growing at such a fast pace lately. But this book, for me, is a treasure of information. Especially after reading about the kind of care the author and others (after reading their personal stories) are receiving I've decided to make a concerted effort to find the right care giver for me. I'm very thankful to the author and all the other experts who banded together to create this book.

Fibromyalgia IS NOT a Musculoskeletal Disorder by B. James (Galveston, TX United States) 1 Stars
July 17, 2009
OK, I'm going to be a jerk about the product description. I know this is supposed to be about the product, but this kind of thing is what continues to screw up the diagnosis of fibromyalgia when chronic myofascial pain syndrome should be diagnosed. Since I am going into the field of chronic soft tissue pain, I feel obligated to correct this statement. Fibromyalgia is DEFINITELY NOT A MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDER, as it clearly states in Devyn Starlanyl's exceptional book, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Myofascial Pain: A Survival Manual. That being said, I am definitely going to order this book as I believe it will be very high quality and since there are no definitive medical textbooks that I have found that deal with fibromyalgia in any great detail.

I have firbomyalgia and I can't get enough information about this diblitating condition. It has interfered in my life in every aspect. The more information I can get the better I understand what is going on. This book was a good read. It goes into my library.

I sent this back because it did not have tools to make my life better. It just had other persons experiences.
