Successfully Coping with Fibromyalgia

"Successfully Coping with Fibromyalgia" tells a rare success story - something few people seem to have experienced: success in avoiding the chronic pain and associated symptoms of what is sometimes called "fibromyalgia". I have found ways to consistently avoid the pain that has afflicted me for the past fifty years. It's based on the avoidance of certain common substances in our environment, something I've never seen reported in FM research or treatment. As a major update to my original 2011 book "Coping with Fibromyalgia", this volume reflects major new findings and the progress I've made in controlling FM pain over the intervening twelve years, including: A new, clearer description of the triggers behind my pain - common substances in food and the environment that directly result in chronic pain.A better understanding of the progression of events leading up to pain.How to use TENS - Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation -a major new tool for warding off the progression of pain into a full-blown "FM Event".Associated factors that affect the degree of pain I experience.As fibromyalgia sufferers - how did we get here - why is this all happening?
