Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a condition of widespread muscular and joint pain, with specific tender points on the body. Both of these “invisible” illnesses are also accompanied by a mix of physical, cognitive and emotional symptoms such as sore throat, persistent headache, brain fog, sleep disturbance, balance problems, anxiety and depression. This book is a definitive guide to virtually every aspect of CFS and FMS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten frankly and compassionately, the book describes the first signs of illness, the difficult process of diagnosis and the frustrating search for effective treatment.
