Summary: If there was ever a "Bible on Fibromyalgia" this is it!
Comment: If you can only buy one book on fibromyalgia, you have found it. Look no further!
When I got my copy, I stayed up all night until I had read the whole thing (not recommended by the authors, by the way.)
While written in such a fashion that a newly diagnosed fibro patient can quickly find the information they need, it is also an extremely comprehensive book for the medical profession and layman looking for a more in-depth understanding of this little-understood illness.
Invaluable to family and friends, an assist to fibromyalgia patients working with the medical community, and reassuring to the reader who feels they have long suffered from a collection of painful symptoms that no one else understood, "Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Syndrome" has filled a long-existing empty spot in the health section of the bookstore.
When you come home from the doctor's office trying to remember which medication they prescribed, what treatment was recommended, and confusion reigns supreme, turn to this book.
When your mother-in-law says "Well, my body aches and my memory is fading, and _I_ don't have fibrawhatchamacallit.", turn to this book.
When your doctor pats you on the shoulder and kindly says "We are all getting older, you just need to accept it. I am writing you a prescription for your nerves." turn to this book.
In addition to coprehensive and well-documented research, many resources for further information and study are given, including internet addresses. Dr. Starlanyl has for years lent her time and talents to Fibrom-L, a fibromyalgia list open to anyone with internet access, guiding and reassuring those who need her assistance.
From the moment I read the foreword, I know I had finally found the answer to my prayers, knowledge that I was not alone, and this was not "all in my head."
Thanks to Dr.'s Starlanyl and Copeland, countless thousands of fibromyalgia sufferers are "surviving". You are both a blessing to us all.

Summary: A Lifesaver....
Comment: Until I read this book I felt totally hopeless. I have chronic pain from some obvious sources, but also have other "unexplained" pain. My pain got worse and I got more depressed. Then one day I read the symptoms of Fibromyalgia. I went to the library, found and checked out "Fibromyalgia and Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome", and it changed my life! On page after page I found validation and explanations for my weird pains. Once my Orthp Dr saw how many correlations there were, he had no choice but to formally diagnose me with FMS/CMP syndrome. I understand so much more now about my body thanks to this book. This truly IS a survival manual. If you are in pain, and want answers, buy this book. The text is easy to understand, NOT overly technical,and the many diagrams are very helpful too. The author knows first-hand how we suffer, as she also has this condition. Thanks Dr. Starlanyl!

Summary: An owner's handbook to a fibromyalgia suffering body
Comment: My title for this review should be the title of this book.
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1993 and I have felt I was fighting in the dark, usually having to teach my caregivers about the disease rather than the other way around. I read what I could but still did not understand why there seemed to be so many things wrong with me. This book has become the light in my darkness. It explains in clear and simple layperson terms exactly what fibromyalgia is and does and why it causes so many disparate symptoms. It also tells me ways of dealing with all the aspects of this disease. I wish I had this book years ago. It would have saved me much suffering and anxiety. I am buying copies for my caregivers and my relatives and my friends. Yahoo!
