Summary: Dr. Pellegrino endears himself to readers
Comment: Ever wanted a doctor to step into your living room and explain everything you need to know about fibromyalgia and how to live with it on a daily basis? Mark Pellegrino, M.D., does exactly that in his new book, Inside Fibromyalgia.
Inside Fibromyalgia is written both from a doctor and patient perspective as Dr. Pellegrino was diagnosed with FMS at age 28 while in medical residency. The book is arranged in six main sections (Diagnosing FMS, Understanding FMS, Treating FMS, Self-Directed Strategies for Managing FMS, Handling Specific Situations, and FMS in the New Millennium). Each section has several chapters, prefaced by a short, one page introduction that explains what the reader will find in that section. Chapters have key phrases pulled out to emphasize a point and "Survival Strategies" to summarize at the end, making information "cognitively" friendly for FMS readers who are having a cognitively challenging day. Although no credit was given, the wonderful illustrations throughout the book (especially the one on page 52) further help the reader visualize the different concepts being explained.
Up to now, The Fibromyalgia Survivor has been my favorite Dr. Pellegrino book. Inside Fibromyalgia has taken the best of that book, and updated and expanded the information and research to give the patient, medical professional or spouse one of the most complete and current books on fibromyalgia. If you are familiar with Dr. Pellegrino's many books, you will be looking for his Fibronomics, the top ten list, personalized greeting cards, and his special sense of humor ~ relax, it's in there.
In Dr. Pellegrino's own words, "I have become a fibromyalgia survivor, not from reading medical journals or attending symposiums, but through experiences with the patients that I have come to know and treat over the years. I consider them my colleagues! Today I continue an active clinical practice and am working together WITH fibromyalgia patients to solve OUR problems." Little wonder that the compassion with which Dr. Pellegrino writes (and his wonderful sense of humor) endears him to the FMS patient world and shows up in his books.

Summary: Great Book
Comment: Inside Fibroy... is an awesome book that I highly recommend reading and following to anyone who suffers from fibro. I do not however recommend that anyone actually track Dr. Pellegrino down in Ohio to see him personally. It is not worth the $200 which he demands up front. You can get more out of the book. He is more concerned with the bottom line than helping his patients especailly those who travel from out of town to see him. Unlike what he says in his book he will not write a detailed letter to employers to help them understand fibro or to help the fibro patient obtain restrictions or job modifications. I would recommend showing the book to your employer. The book is very helpful, in person the doctor is not.
