Right on Point

I have FMS. I have intellectualized this syndrome to death. But, this book calls into play the need to emotionally and spiritually cope with chronic pain, while weeding through all the medical throeries,claims and proposed treatments.

Sound advice from an expert.

Dr Goldenberg takes a controversial and complex subject often innundated with old wives tales and gives it a sound medical basis. His own dealings with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue as well as chronic pain has made this author sensitive to the needs of the person diagnosed with this condition. It is really a must read for anyone with chronic pain and depression. Dr Goldenberg doesn't speak condescendingly. As one of the named "best doctors in America" and Head of Rheumatolgy at the Newton Hospital in Massachusetts, his knowledge and expertise and the thousands of patients in his care with these disorders, makes this book absolutely imperative for sufferers.
