The symptoms include chronic, widespread musculoskeletal pain,\u00a0 accompanied by multiple tender or trigger points, painful or restricted\u00a0 movement, and persistent fatigue. For an estimated 26 million Americans,\u00a0 the underlying condition is fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) or myofascial\u00a0 pain syndrome (MPS) or both, in the form of FMS\/MPS Complex.<\/p>\n
Despite the widespread occurrence of .these conditions, the\u00a0 average FMS or MPS patient suffers for five years and spends thousands\u00a0 of dollars on medical bills before receiving an accurate diagnosis. And,\u00a0 even then, effective treatment may still prove elusive, as few doctors\u00a0 are trained to understand or respond to these conditions.<\/p>\n
Fibromyalgia & Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome offers the\u00a0 first comprehensive patient guide for managing these conditions. You\u2019ll\u00a0 start by learning what FMS and MPS are, evaluating your own symptoms,\u00a0 and identifying the tender and\/or trigger points that are crucial for\u00a0 treating them. The manual covers chronic pain, sleep problems, and other\u00a0 \u201cInternal affairs,\u201d shows you how you can use your mind to counteract\u00a0 physical symptoms and the numbing effects of \u201cfibrofog,\u201d and provides an\u00a0 extensive set of healing tools-including information on the latest\u00a0 medications, a nutritional program, and tips for using bodywork and\u00a0 other less commonly known treatments. Its comprehensive survival\u00a0 strategies include suggestions for coping with family and work\u00a0 situations, getting support, and dealing with the health care system.<\/p>\n
