Foreword

There are many books on Fibromyalgia on the market. Those written by the professionals are usually complicated but not practical enough, leaving the patients wondering what to do next. Those written by lay people are usually simplistic but not scientific enough, leaving the patients wondering if the recommendations are valid.

This book by Polly Hattemer is a good combination of both worlds:

1.The research presentation is to the point, but does not overwhelm the patients.

-For example, the issue of serotonin, rarely mentioned in most books, is addressed in 4 pages.

-There are 112 references in this 46 page book, including addresses of websites.

2.The recommendations are straight to the point.

-Where to get the tests

-Where to get the products

-How to take the products

-Potential side effects to look for

This clear and concise style is typical of that of Polly Hattemer.

I very highly recommend this book to anyone, professional and lay people alike.
