1.0 out of 5 stars Never let a friend or family member near this book, April 26, 1998
By 
This review is from: Understanding Fibromyalgia: A Guide for Family and Friends (Paperback)
This book started out looking very promising. It appeared as if it would answer the need for a good book for friends and family members. However, as I continued to read, I became very upset, as there was a distinct intimation that there is a strong psychological etiology to FMS, and that if the patient would just get on with life, everything would be fine. I refused to place a copy of it in our support group library. I felt betrayed by it's attitude.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, July 7, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding Fibromyalgia: A Guide for Family and Friends (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book to explain Fibromyalgia to yourfamily and friends please don't look for it here. There are a fewpages that make mention of Fibromyalgia. The rest of the 55 pages here are filled with information that you can get from a any self help book. For instance: "Using I messages is effective, because" etc. Page 33. I sure don't intend to waste the time of my family and friends by suggesting they read it.

Your family and friends who are interested in helping you would be better served to send or call for the information provided free from the National Arthritis Foundation.
