Synopsis

Fibromyalgia, with its constant severe muscle pain, relentless fatigue, disturbed sleep, and feelings of desperation, is regularly misdiagnosed and misunderstood, yet it is the most common arthritis-related disease next to osteoarthritis. While some feel these symptoms are part of growing older, fibromyalgia is not a sign of aging. In this newly revised edition of his popular handbook, Dr Harris H McIlwain offers hope to millions of sufferers. His proven seven step treatment programme includes the very latest in such medications as Cox-2 inhibitors, the breakthrough drugs that reduce pain and inflammation without stomach upset, and guaifenesin, a common ingredient in cough and cold medications that may lessen the symptoms of fibromyalgia.

From the Author

The Fibromyalgia Handbook is practical and comprehensive.
As coauthor of The Fibromyalgia Handbook, I have seen first-hand what this arthritis-like syndrome can do to family and friends. Yet I have also seen the results of Dr. McIlwain's 7-STEP TREATMENT PROGRAM. It really works to diminish painful symptoms and helps you to regain strength, end fatigue, feel more positive and, in short, reclaim the healthy life you once enjoyed. Like any form of treatment, this program must be followed daily in order to experience the touted results. But many patients, as shared in this book, have seen great success and have gone from exhaustion and constant muscle pain to lead active, productive lives. If you have fibromyalgia and have tried other treatment plans, we understand your hesitancy to try "one more program." But! We also encourage you to NOT GIVE UP until you give this plan a try. It may be the one that brings hope and a greater quality of life for you and your loved ones. Best!
