Hope And Help For Chronic Fatigue Syndrome And Fibromyalgia

HOPE AND HELP FOR CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME AND FIBROMYALGIA is designed to educate patients suffering from CFS/FM about their illnesses and to teach them coping skills that will improve their quality of life. And while the good news is that people who suffer from CFS/FM aren't dying, the bad news is that it's going to take a lot of time and effort to get better since there is no one specific treatment that works for everyone. Some of the issues covered are: *Understanding the symptoms and how diagnoses are made *Causes of CFS/FM and common psychological consequences, including anxiety and depression *The role of stress and how to manage it *The connection between the mind and the body in coping with CFS/FM *The potential of medications, nutrition, and lifestyle changes *The role of complementary medications and dietary supplements in pain management *The value and limitations of alternative and complementary therapies such as accupuncture, massage, homeopathy, and aromatherapy
