Description
Sufferers of fibromyalgia (formerly called fibrositis) experience widespread muscle pain and other associated symptoms which may include disturbed sleep, bowel disorders, headaches, anxiety, chronic fatigue and PMS. This book clearly explains what fibromyalgia is and how it affects sufferers. Leon Chaitow explains the various self-help methods which include: massage and self-manipulation for muscle problems; hydrotherapy, aromatherapy and acupuncture; detoxification and skin brushing; relaxation techniques; amino acids, antioxidants and other supplements. Fibromyalgia is on the increase. It is now the commonest disorder seen by rheumatol ogists after osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This book presents a practical guide to this fatigue disorder.
