From the author of Living Well With Hypothyroidism, a comprehensive
guide to the diagnosis and treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome
and fibromyalgia--vital help for the millions of people suffering
from pain, fatigue, and sleep problems.Recent studies indicate that
3 to 6 million Americans suffer from fibromyalgia--a chronic
disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue,
and multiple tender points. This terrible condition is often
accompanied by chronic fatigue syndrome, a persistent and
debilitating sense of exhaustion that is estimated to affect
800,000 Americans--twice the number of people with multiple
sclerosis. Yet there are no official blood tests of diagnostic
procedures that can confirm that yes, you definitely have these
conditions, and in fact, a whole segment of the medical world
doesn't even believe these two diseases actually exist. In
addition, the few books that are on the market tend to focus on
single solutions or eschew conventional and pharmaceutical
approaches, which could alienate readers who use conventional
medicine in whole or part. In her trademark accessible,
easy-to-follow style, patient advocate Mary J. Shomon integrates
the latest findings regarding these misunderstood conditions.
Highlighting the pros and cons of the antibiotic,
metabolic/endocrine, hormonal, musculoskeletal, and many other
approaches to treatment, Shomon explores the fads and viable
alternatives--both conventional and alternative--and provides
helpful, clear solutions to help sufferers of fibromyalgia and
chronic fatigue syndrome.At various points since 1995, Mary J.
Shomon has been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and
fibromyalgia. Since then, she has transformed her health challenges
into a mission as a nationally-known patient advocate. She has
worked for more than 20 years in writing, advertising, public
relations, and communications and is the founder and
editor-in-chief of several thyroid, autoimmune, and nutrition
newsletters, as well as the internet's most popular thyroid disease
website, www.thyroid-info.com.
