While there are numerous lay-oriented books on fibromyalgia relating to headache, PMS, and chronic fatigue, this text on fibromyalgia is written by a rheumatologist for patients and professionals. The American Fibromyalgia Syndrome Association and the Arthritis Foundation have both endorsed this book.
