I almost cried when I read this book because it explained so many things that were going on with my body. I have been trying to treat my symtoms seperately with different doctors and this book made me realize that most of my problems are connected and stemming from the same thing. I love the fact that it takes a combination approach of Rx and natural remedies. well worth the read.

This was an excellant name for this book and very informative. I've had CFS/Fibromyalgia for years, yet all my MD's thought I was just crazy and looking for pain pills. Thank God for Dr. Titelbaum; I feel 60% better already just in a month following his suggestions. I can also call his hospital or go there if I were to get worse. There is even a Plan of Care via the Internet or phone besides his book. The natural herbs are affordable and safe to take... I looked them all up. I'm also a retired nurse so that's a plus for me in understanding what he says even though it is in 'plain' english. This book is the best 'under $20.00' I ever spent!!!

Maybe the Best Book I've Ever Read by Neil Gibson (Cleveland, OH United States)

There is a subset of people who want to be treated in a very "conventional" fashion with Lyrica, which is about all the family medicine physician has in his arsenal for fibromyalgia (I know, I'm being a little unfair here and don't mean to be overly critical - one of these "family medicine physicians" saved my mother's life last year!!). However, for another subset, this book is an absolute Godsend!! It is filled with things to "try" - some work for part of the population, and some work for others. It covers topics such as subclinical hypothyroidism and why Synthroid isn't always the best option (but may be - for some people). It also discusses, in an open-minded fashion, just about evey protocol out there, and the author uses his own clinical experience to offer suggestions on what typically works and what doesn't. If I had one criticism, I'd say that the book is a little light in its emphasis on myofascial pain, and how it can be relieved by injections and simple home trigger-point techniques. It does address the issue, and includes a narrative from Dr. Hal Blatman (who is an excellent doctor and healer). For someone with Fibromyalgia who wants to try alternative medicine, I'd suggest this book along with two others. One is "Winners Guide to Pain Relief" by Hal Blatman, M.D. The other is "Why we Hurt" by Greg Fors, D.C. Also, invest in the cheapest of Dr. Fors' trigger point therapy kits. You should really use all of this under the guidance of a good, open-minded holistic physician. By the way, instead of sleeping all day and dealing with chronic pain, my wife is 99% better and runs marathons!! This may not be possible for everyone, but I certainly wish it for everyone with this very peculiar disease.

excellent book for anyone suffering w/ ME/CFIDS and/or FM by terri rainspirit (Butler, PA)

i have been severely ill with ME/CFIDS-FM for 6 years. i have spent approx. 75-80% of those years bed-ridden from these illnesses. i have purchased upwards of at least 30 books on these diseases and i have to say that NO ONE speaks more TRUTHS or suggests better options than Dr. T!! this book gives you so very many suggestions on how to get better. it also explains every aspect of the illnesses in depth. i am very blessed to have an excellent holistic MD that i work with, and HE USES THIS BOOK to help treat patients, as well! Dr. T. has DEVOTED his life and work to these illnesses, and he KNOWS what he's talking about!! please believe me when i say that there is NOT a better book written about these illnesses. i think that there is more information in this one book than i have ever been able to find out of any 7-10 other books written about these diseases. Dr. T. suffered from ME/CFIDS himself, so not only is he a BRILLIANT dr. and researcher, but he knows FIRSTHAND what it feels like to live with these diseases. if you purchase any book at all about these illnesses, do yourself a favor, and make it this one! i would also suggest that after you read this, that you share it w/ your dr., too. there is a lot of information in here, especially about medicines/supplements that will guide your dr. so that they know exactly which drugs/supplements to use and exactly how much of each!actually, if you could afford it, and your dr. doesn't already have this book, i would buy 2, and give one to your dr. Dr. T. also uses ALL royalties from his books, supplments, etc towards more research! He is an OUTSTANDING Dr. and a TRUE GIFT to all who suffer from these illnesses.

This book contains more information than any I have ever read on the subject. I found it easy to understand and put into practice in my own life. It has also been a helpful resource for me as I talk to my healthcare professionals about my own health concerns and treatment options.
