This book (combo set) has very good sources of information regarding both regular Chronic Pain and also the book on Fibromyalgia is very helpful.Book 1 - Chronic Pain - the Chapters I personally found most helpful:+ Chapter 3 - How Does Pain Affect Your Life+ Chapter 4 - Natural Pain Relievers (13 natural ones)- Had no idea that there were this many natural pain relievers and most of which I have in my pantry or in my natural supplements.+ Also in Chapter 4, there is a list of NATURAL TREATMENTS such as:Chiropractors, Massage Therapy (this really works well for me), Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and Acupressure, Naturopathy, Aromatherapy, Hypnotherapy, and Yoga.+ Chapter 5 - What Aggravates Pain - There is a list of 9 thingsthat can aggravate pain. What a helpful chapter! In my case, I did not realize that something like inactivity can aggravate pain, yet this is so true, when I sit watching TV and don't move around for a while, my shoulder and neck gets stiff and painful! Now I move around to keep my circulation going and this helps!+ Chapter 6 - How to Prevent Relapses - This is a MUST read for anyone with chronic pain that gets some relief only to have it come back and want to stop this or less this! Love what it said about Do Not Overwork Yourself---Now I stop when I begin to get tired and sit back and relax, what a difference this makes!Book II - FibromyalgiaThis is the MOST informative and complete book that I found on Fibromyalgia. A very good friend of mine has it and I bought this book to learn more about it so I can more understand what she is dealing with each day. Personally,  I have very chronic pain in my right shoulder and neck areas (but not Fibromyalgia) due to a very bad car accident. Therefore this book duo set is helping me greatly!And I have taken the tips in this book and put them to good use for myself and my pain is much more manageable now.***Also, what I do is I take everyday Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium supplements and they have also helped me with my chronic pain.This book I highly recommend to you if you have Fibromyalgia or even if you have regular Chronic Pain (and not Fibromyalgia) this book should be of help to you. For me, it has helped two fold: 1) Educating me so I can better understand my friend's Fibromyalgia and 2) Helps me with my own chronic pain.
