Making Sense Of Fibromyalgia - Tapa dura

A pain amplification syndrome, fibromyalgia is related to tension headaches, premenstrual syndrome, and chronic fatigue syndrome, but its status as a disorder is fairly new. While there are numerous lay-oriented books on fibromyalgia relating to headache, PMS, and chronic fatigue, this text on fibromyalgia is written by a rheumatologist for patients and professionals. The American Fibromyalgia Syndrome Association and the Arthritis Foundation have both endorsed this book.
