5.0 out of 5 stars other options always welcomed, July 23, 2007
This review is from: Healing Fibromyalgia (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, compassionate and hopeful, May 3, 2007
This review is from: Healing Fibromyalgia (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional / Enlightening / Educational, July 20, 2007
This review is from: Healing Fibromyalgia (Paperback)
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.
