Disappointing:
I've bought books on bipolar disorder that spent less time on my mental health then this book did. The NFA's stance has always been "antidepressants and lifestyle changes" and this book goes right along with it. Very little info on pharmacutical options. Very basic and very disappointing.
Maybe too 'idiot' oriented:
The book is good for an overall idea of fibromyalgia, but it doesn't actually contain much more than I found on websites, so far. I'm hoping to find more useful information once I have the chance to fully read this book.
Idiots Guide to Fibromyalgia:
Well written so that the average person can understand it. Very helpful for people with this condition.
Excellent Resource:
I have Fibro and have spent a great deal of time researching the subject,
This book explains EVERYTHING you want to know!
I highly reccomend it
