The Fibromyalgia Relief Book: 213 Ideas for Improving Your Quality of Life
Williamson, who has suffered from fibromyalgia (FM) since childhood, is coauthor of the excellent Fibromyalgia: A Comprehensive Approach (LJ 9/15/96), and now adds this practical self-help guide to her acomplishments. In it, she discusses ways FM patients can manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life, from diet and supplements to strategies such as ergonomics and energy conservation tips. The chapters on traveling and sleep are especially useful. Williamson writes in a straightforward, direct manner that makes the material easy to comprehend. A helpful section on resources adds to the title's value. The growing number of people diagnosed with FM makes Williamson's patient education book very timely. Highly recommended for consumer health/patient education collections in all libraries.?Janet Coggan, Univ. of Florida Libs., GainesvilleCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
