Reader Reviews
Thi is one of the best books written about fibromyalgia that I have read. Dr. Hammerly provides more information about this illness then I could ever imagine. He makes it clear that Fibromyalgia is not just a "women's" diease but strikes men and children also. My doctor told me that this illness is something only women get....(I am buying this book for him and taking it to him at my next appointment.) This book explains the 18 tender points and symptoms that can accompany fibromyalgia. Dr. Hammerly lists at least twenty accompanying symptoms and I highlighted 11 of these that I experience. Dr. Hammerly does an excellent job explaing conventional treatments and alternative therapys and he includes the side-effects of both conventional and herbal remedies. Another plus, is that Dr. Hammerly also states that it is absolutely necessary to have your doctor run specific tests in order to diagnose Fibromyalgia correctly and to treat any underlying condition that might exist or co-exist with fibromyalgia. This book is so informative, I recommend it to any one who has been told they have fibromyalgia.
