Customer Rating:  
Summary: is ok
Comment: This would be a good book for people newly diagnosed with FMS and their families.
If you have had FMS for a few years you're probably not going to learn much from this book.
I am mailing mine to someone who has been newly diagnosed.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Ok Book
Comment: THis is an ok book to just show family members when you try to tell them you have fibromyalgia. It is a simple book that they can read to understand. Otherwise there are better books out there.
Customer Rating:
Summary: good but for dummies
Comment: This is a great book the only reason for low stars is that it didnt tell me anything that you couldnt find out easily by looking at one or maybe even two simple websites about fibro. If you know absolutely nothing then get it or get it for friends and family of someone who has it, it is very good and easy to read it is definelty for dummies on the subject.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Book
Comment: This a really good book for Fibromyalgia sufferers. I found a lot of information about how to handle the condition, where to get support, and info about Social Security claims, what to do and not to do. For me it was very helpful.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great,first book!
Comment: After finding out I had FMS, I saw this book in the store and it was on sale. For being the first book I read about the condition, I think it was perfect. It gives you the main concepts and explanations without a bunch of mumbo jumbo you don't understand. And when you haven't quite accepted the condition as a permanent in your life, this book can help you feel as if everything will be okay and you're not alone.
