As many as fifteen million American women, or 5 percent of the
adult female population in the US, suffer from the disabling
medical condition known as fibromyalgia. If one takes into account
husbands, partners, children, and other close relatives, the
proportion of the American population directly or indirectly
affected by fibromyalgia could be as high as 10 percent, or thirty
million persons.
Nonetheless, the medical community is divided over the reality of
this condition. One side argues, sometimes heatedly, that the
patients are masquerading - pretending a disability they know they
do not have. The other side counters, with equal passion, that
fibromyalgia sufferers are abused by a society that fails to give
them the support they deserve while painfully suffering from this
severely debilitating illness.
Without taking sides, Dr. M. Clement Hall presents six fictional,
though factually based, case studies of typical patients from
differing socioeconomic backgrounds and describes the varying
investigations, diagnoses, and treatments they have undergone. Each
of these case studies represents a composite of many years of
clinical practice rather than one specific patient. Collectively,
they cover the range of experiences fibromyalgia patients are
likely to have encountered.
By taking this unique approach, Dr. Hall presents an objective
overview of the fibromyalgia situation today in North America.
Patients, family members, and physicians will see themselves
reflected in the descriptions and will gain a broader understanding
of this challenging illness.
