Living Well With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome And Fibromyalgia Syndrome

In this extensive resource about chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia syndrome, author Mary Shomon takes you on a journey starting with her own personal experience. She simplifies vast amounts of information she consumed after reading fifty books, thousands of research articles, talking to dozen of experts, and corresponding with thousands of fellow patients. At age 17, Mary suffered her first bout of serious illness which started her on a quest to wellness.

Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia syndrome have long been poorly understood conditions, both by patients and medical professionals. The good news is that has started to change. CFS and fibromyalgia syndrome can be caused by numerous different triggers. When all the different contributing factors are searched for, recognized, and treated effectively, patients improve significantly and often get well.

Mary shows us that there is not one particular trigger for CFS and fibromyalgia syndrome which is common to everyone. There is no definitive list of guaranteed symptoms for CFS or fibromyalgia syndrome. There is no surefire way to get diagnosed, nor one kind of doctor who has all the answers. The plan to wellness must be customized for you.

Mary begins by giving the reader a basic understanding of CFS and fibromyalgia syndrome. She presents checklists for the risk factors and symptoms of CFS and fibromyalgia syndrome. A sample checklist can be found on the book's website at http://www.cfsfibromyalgia.com. Mary questions if there is any connection between CFS, fibromyalgia syndrome and the following: infection, the immune system, hormones, brain, nervous system, heart, pain, stress, allergens, toxins, sensitivities, sleep, musculoskeletal system, or nutritional imbalances. The book serves as an essential guide to those answers and a vital guide to wellness.
