Mayo Clinic Guide to Fibromyalgia: Strategies to Take Back Your Life by Barbara K. Bruce, Andy Abril
hopeful
informative
medium-paced
2.75
A better alternative is The Fibro Manual by Ginevra Liptan.
The first half is useful for the overview of the condition for people who are newly diagnosed or unfamiliar with fibromyalgia. But the treatment portion is lacking--for a self-help book it's fairly unhelpful.
There are some good tips regarding pacing while doing exercise but the advice is too general to be put in practice, maybe they're waiting for people to sign up for their paid CBT program. There's also absolutely terrible advice like "accept all social invites". What??
