"Why do I feel so lousy even after my doctor said my labs are normal?" "I'm exhausted all the time." "Ever since ______, my life has never been the same." "My doctor and even my family just think I'm crazy." "We've tried everything to get pregnant and are ready to give up hope." "I'm on 4 different meds and nothing seems to work." "My son's teacher wants him on Ritalin but I know that's not the solution, but I'm at the end of my rope!"These are just a few questions our patients have that sparked me to write this simple, easy-to-read book that has become an "ah-ha moment" to its readers. It is comforting to know there is a REASON for your symptoms and downright inspiring to find out there is a SOLUTION. My heart breaks to hear the stories of the years of suffering and misery that has torn families apart and distroyed dreams. I pray this book brings hope to those who have given up, enlightens them to believe that there is a way out of their struggle, and leads them to re-capture their life.Ýr.

All About Fibromyalgia: A Guide for Patients and Their Families

CureMyWife.com — Wed, 18 May 2011 23:14:01 +0000

This year, six million Americans--most of them women--will go to their doctors, complaining of an illness they have no name for. The majority will be turned away or treated for depression; the few who persist will go to an average of four doctors before they receive the correct diagnosis: fibromyalgia. In their earlier Making Sense of Fibromyalgia, noted medical writer Janice Wallace and Dr. Daniel Wallace, a leading expert on this disorder, provided a comprehensive guide--for both patients and professionals--to this little known and poorly understood syndrome. Now, in All About Fibromyalgia, the Wallaces provide a thoroughly revised and updated version of that highly successful volume, incorporating a wealth of new information. This edition provides the current understanding of the disease as well as the latest drug treatments--all laid out in clear and accessible language. As in the previous volume, the authors provide a detailed, yet clear explanation of the disease. Fibromyalgia, they explain, is a form of chronic neuromuscular pain, a pain-amplification syndrome brought on by abnormal interactions between hormones, the immune system, neurotransmitters, and the autonomic nervous system. Sometimes the syndrome occurs spontaneously; in most cases, the authors write, it is associated with trauma, stress, such conditions as lupus and hypothyroidism, and over forty microbes, from hepatitis to Epstein-Barr to Lyme disease. Drawing on actual cases to illustrate their points, the authors help break through the isolation that patients often feel when doctors misdiagnose or simply ignore their symptoms. All About Fibromyalgia addresses a desperate need for information on this disease and offers reassurance to patients and their families.
