Uncovering Fibromyalgia

By Lynne D.M. Noble

What is fibromyalgia syndrome? How does it differ from chronic fatigue syndrome? When was it first recognised and why is it a syndrome? Do all people experience the same symptoms? This book explores fibromyalgia and its causes. The author argues that fibromyalgia syndrome does not just have one causal explanation and that the symptoms may have a number of diverse causes that result in similar and overlapping symptoms but would require different treatment approaches to resolve. This would offer an explanation as to why sufferers experience their own unique set of symptoms out of a broad range of symptoms experienced by sufferers overall. This offers an alternative explanation to the one that argues that differing symptoms are the result of genetic variation. The author examines three substances - that could result in symptoms of fibromyalgia - and one nutrient for which a deficiency could explain fibromyalgia syndrome. For any sufferer of these conditions, the way forward is simply one of trial and error. As always the author writes from the perspective that as diets change over time, so does our intake of nutrients and these have a part to play in the disease states which are manifested at any particular time.
