"In the two decades since the first edition of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia was published, diagnoses of this disease have grown exponentially. Many patients with fibromyalgia have to take multiple medications and supplements to treat symptoms of muscle pain, fatigue, hypoglycemia, IBS, and chronic candidiasis --and they still can't control their pain. This book is still the only resource that actually treats fibromyalgia, reduces drug dependency, and offers a real cure. The fourth edition goes deeper into understanding the disease in its entirety and explores early intervention options that are available, including alternative medicines. Dr. St. Amand details the big issues surrounding fibromyalgia today, including: A close look at supplements, including CBD oil, which is an unregulated (and controversial) product not subject to the same scientific rigor as most medications ; Guaifenesin, and how it does really work for patients, eliminating symptoms and restoring normal life to an astonishing 90 percent of fibromyalgia sufferers ; Pharmaceuticals in treatment, and why 'medical Band-Aids' won't treat the disease. This updated edition is necessary reading for those affected by the disease, and for those intervening in the early stages of symptoms."-- back cover.
