You will discover: * How to find the right doctor* Which pain medicines and nondrug therapies work best* The role deep sleep deprivation plays in FM and what you can do to remedy sleep disturbance* How exercise and nutrition affect FM symptoms* Massage, meditation, and relaxation techniques that help* What to watch for in detecting and treating FM in children Anyone who suffers from FM-- and the more than 15 similar or related illnesses-- knows that the pain is not "all in your head." The symptoms are real, and although there is no cure for FM, this book offers realistic, effective ways to live a full life despite FM.
