Fibromyalgia
Greenwood Press (Verlag)
978-0-313-36440-2 (ISBN)
As described in this timely volume, three decades of objective scientific evidence has finally transitioned a suspicious set of symptoms into a real diagnosis for—and potential treatments of—fibromyalgia. It is a revelatory work, focusing on important research discoveries, the struggles of patients, and hopes for a future cure.
Each chapter of Fibromyalgia covers different aspects of the disease and its treatment, including global, economic, and risk statistics; a timeline of key events in the study of fibromyalgia; common symptoms and diagnostic indicators; pharmacologic and non-pharmacological treatments; associated disorders and syndromes; and impact of fibromyalgia at home, in the workplace, and in society at large. Adding to the coverage is a firsthand account from a young patient describing her experiences with this disease.
A historic timeline pinpoints important moments in the efforts to define, diagnose, and relieve fibromyalgia
A complete glossary helps readers understand potentially difficult medical terminology related to fibromyalgia
