Excellent book to read

Healing Fibromyalgia is a great book with new information about Cymbalta, including real life examples of how to use it and what to expect. The authors discuss traditional and holistic medicine very nicely. They explain why fibromyalgia happens so clearly, I wish every doctor could read it.

Thank you Dr. Trock from Barbara Anzellotti

I read Dr. Trock's book about healing Fibromyalgia after seeing an article about him in a local newspaper. It was the first book I've ever read on Fibro that states even though each patient has different symptoms and stressors, the condition usually stems from previous central nervous system trama or prolonged stress. I was totally impressed by the scope of his knowledge and in my opinion, he has a lot of new and innovative ideas regarding the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. He advocates a complete patient history and physical examination to determine exactly where the problem lies. His solutions for relief and possible cure are multifacited and geared to each specific patient. I had the priviledge of being able to make an appointment to see him, as his practice is located in my home town. He had a kind, sensitive demeanor, and took all the time necessary to listen to me describe my symptons and conduct a full history and physical examination. Apparently, his diagnosis was correct, because in the short time I have been going to him, I feel 100% better. The medication he prescribed has given me a new lease on life and I can now walk without pain and stiffness. I've started doing mild stretching exercises and I can't believe how easily I can get down on the floor and get back up again. I just couldn't do that before. I would recommend Dr. Trock's book to anyone suffering not only from fibromyalgia, but any cronic pain condition. This book is a multi-faceted encyclopedia for pain management and stress relief. I can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you Dr. Trock for giving me back my life!

other options always welcomed

If you're interested in using the new durg Lyrica for fibromyalgia, this is a wonderful book. It's the first book I've seen that explains what Lyrica is and how to integrate it into a well balanced treatment program. The authors also give details about a new treatment on the horizon for fibromyalgia called rTMS (repetivitve trascranial magnetic stimulation), and other options I'd never heard before. It's the best book I've read on the subject.

Exceptional / Enlightening / Educational

I loved reading Healing Fibromyalgia. There is a chapter called "The Biology of Chronic Stress" that explains the mind-body connection better than I've ever seen. The authors describe the damaging effects of certain injuries and illnesses on the central nervous system. Then they explain why Fibromyalgia happens and how to treat it. From a treatment standpoint, they categorize Fibromyalgia into three different types - post-injury, post-illness, and stress driven - then formulate a specific indivdualized plan for each one. I found useful information about integrative care, diet and exercise - advice I haven't seen anywhere else - and new medication choices down to the finest detail. I can highly recommed this book.

Outstanding, compassionate and hopeful

I have dealt with fibromyalgia for many years, so anytime I see a new book on the subject, I'm anxious to read it. So many times, I'm disappointed by the same info presented over and over again, with no new approach offered other than merely dealing with symptoms. This book is different. Written by a rheumatologist with many years of clinical experience, this book presents new theories backed up by solid research, and offers many avenues of treatment, both allopathic and alternative. But the real difference in this book is the unbelievably compassionate tone by the author. He deeply identifies with the patient's suffering, and "suffer" is a word he uses often. As I have wondered myself many times, he asks why, in this age of modern medical miracles, five million Americans with this illness must suffer with no treatment options on the horizon. This is an outstanding book, probably the best I've ever read on fibromyalgia, and I will be sharing it with my doctor. I'm one of the lucky patients who has an equally understanding and compassionate physician, but so many do not. Read this book, and heed the advice about surrounding yourself with supportive, understanding individuals, including your doctors. Thank you, Dr. Trock...you are what every physician should endeavor to be.
