Discover the latest science on fibromyalgia and get proven, practical steps to recover your quality of life.

Fibromyalgia For Dummies helps you understand the symptoms and causes of this challenging disease and guides you through steps you can take to reduce or eliminate your symptoms, decreasing your pain and fibro fog to manageable control. You’ll learn about and benefit from clear, easy-to-understand coverage of the newest and best medications, over-the-counter drugs, topical remedies, hands-on therapies, and alternative treatments. Learn about the pros and cons of medical marijuana and cannabinoids. You’ll also discover how to deal with people who can’t wait to tell you that your fibromyalgia symptoms aren’t “real.” (Even though they are.)

Plus, receive proven tips for managing stress, exercising, and diet and lifestyle changes to reduce inflammation and improve your symptoms. This completely updated Dummies guide is your source of information on new research, the latest therapies (like low-dose naltrexone and portable transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation or TENS), and finding what treatments work best for you.

  • Find out what causes fibromyalgia and determine the best treatments for your specific situation.
  • Identify triggers, cope with sleep problems, reduce emotional distress, and alleviate pain.
  • Discover the four pillars of treatment: education, fitness, medication, and mental health treatment.
  • Learn about types of fibromyalgia pain, including central sensitization, neuroinflammation, small fiber neuropathy, and post-COVID pain.

Fibromyalgia For Dummies is for anyone, of any age, who thinks they might be suffering from fibromyalgia—as well as loved ones who want to know more about this disease.
