Synopsis

Breakthrough traditional and alternative treatments that will change the way you feel.

More than 10 million Americans, mostly women, suffer the debilitating symptoms of fibromyalgia. Since this book was first published in l996, awareness of fibromyalgia has increased dramatically, as has the need for re, up-to-date information on the many breakthrough medications and treatments. In this revised edition, Dr. McIlwain includes a full discussion of the much touted guaifenesin and other new and experimental medications, explaining what is hype and what is hope. He also gives the latest unconventional alternative therapies such as Aryuveda and Bodywork that are safe to supplement his own treatment plan, as well as expanding sections of complementary treatments such as chiropractic, herbal therapy, and homeopathy that work to relieve symptoms. With Dr. McIlwain's seven-step program, sufferers will learn how to manage this disease and even reverse its progression in most cases.

About this title

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!
