Rating: Summary: Dr. Michael L. Johnson Review: "The Fibromyalgia Advocate" along with "Fibromyalgia and Chronic Mypfascial Pain" are two must haves if you or someone you love suffers from FMS. The pain and fatigue associated with fibromyalgia is REAL and it is NOT all in the patient's head (IAIYH) as some doctors may suggest. FMS patients are suffering and suffering miserably. These two books are wonderful resources for the FMS patient and family. I use them in my patient lending library in my office.Dr. Michael L.

Rating: Summary: Excellent book to clear the confusion that often exist Review: As an advocate for persons with FM/CFS/MPS I found the book helpful. It helped many people who did not know what was wrong and helped them ask their doctors the right questions. It has helped me to help them. Thank you
Rating: Summary: Fibro Advocate Review: Extremly helpful! NO beating around the bush, straight forward ideas to relieve pain and day to day living with fibro. Full of information the doctor doesn't tell you. Whether you're new to fibro or suffered for a while, she has alot of information and helpful suggestions! This book is a must have for fibro sufferers.
Rating: Summary: Thanks you so much Devin! Review: I am so grateful to Devin for writing this book! I find myself using it as a reference all the time. Even though most of us dont have as many resources as she does, I wouldnt even know where to start without her book. Who would ever think that pain releif could be as close as a tennis ball? So many great ideas and insite! If you are looking for a cure you will probably be disappointed but if you are looking for help and support this is the book.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: I found Devin's book to be very helpful. The book is filled with information which should help us learn more about how we can help ourselves. I really like the worksheet chart which can be used to show our doctors where the pain is on a daily basis. I beleive Devin is doing more than many doctors to make sure those of us with Fibromyalgia are heard and helped.
Rating: Summary: Perfect for newly diagnosed Review: I found this book right after I was diagnosed and found it extremely helpful. I found myself doing alot of "a ha" moments. It was very easy to understand and very well written....I would recommend this book to anyone with FMS.

Rating: Summary: Best help for those newly diagnosed with fibromyalgia Review: I found this book to be greatly helpful in educating me in what is fibromyalgia and how to get the help I need. My primary care physician saw I was reading it and asked what they recommended. I take it with me to all Dr. appts and have had no problem getting the help I need to live a productive life with the pain. It has also helped me to understand why things are the way they are, such as the carbohydrate bingeing. I highly recommend this book to anyone with fibromyalgia.
