Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I've bought books on bipolar disorder that spent less time on my mental health then this book did. The NFA's stance has always been "antidepressants and lifestyle changes" and this book goes right along with it. Very little info on pharmacutical options. Very basic and very disappointing.

Summary: Maybe too 'idiot' oriented
Comment: The book is good for an overall idea of fibromyalgia, but it doesn't actually contain much more than I found on websites, so far. I'm hoping to find more useful information once I have the chance to fully read this book.

Summary: Not an Idiot anymore
Comment: The book is set up in a very consise manner making it easy to find a topic when the need arises. It offers an intelligent explanation for our friends and relatives who just don't understand what sufferers of Fibromyalgia go through.

Thank you Lynne Matallana for making my days more tolerable.
