 No Cookbook in Fibromyalgia Jun 10, 2000
By Marilyn S. Aubitz
The titile of this book is a misnomer. A cookbook entails a list of recipes. There is not one recipe or even a selection of certain types foods available to help fight fibromyalgia. It was completely useless to me as it only included what most of us already know about fibromyalgia diet, such as avoiding caffeine. The lists and diary type incluseion for each day could be done on a simple lined tablet. Ifg the book had been entitled Fibromyalgia Diet it might have helped mitigate my dissapointment in it, but Fibromyalgia Cookbook it is not.

 An excellent step-by-step guide to becoming healthy again. Jul 15, 1998
This book walks you through the program Mary, her daughter, and now many others, used to regain their health. It utilizes lifestyle changes including diet, pain control, getting adequate sleep and exercises found to increase strength and decrease pain. I found the book to be so helpful that I now use it as a "workbook" for our fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue support group. After only a few months, our members are reporting amazing improvements in their symptoms. It is the perfect compliment for the Getting Well Support Group Leader's Guide that I use.

What a disappointment! Mar 20, 2001
This book must have been so easy to write - virtually the same set of words on each and every page. Why not simply say try to cut down on caffeine, carbonated drinks, alcohol, chocolate, cigarettes and refined sugars? I had already cut out the above, so the book was no good for me at all. I was looking for recipes and advice regarding the foods I need to eat to help reduce my symptoms - but the book contains not a word about healing foods! The book will be useful to stumulants addicts only. Very amateurishly-written, too, I might add.

Where are the recipies! Jan 23, 2000
Whereas I do believe in the content of this book on FM, I must say that the title is misleading! I bought it thinking it would be full of recipies - there are none to be found here!

Very Helpful May 01, 2001
By V. VanCamp
"lovesbookslovesmusic"
This book was extremely helpful for me due to the fact that I have a lot of fibro fog and very low energy. The day to day lists in this book help me stay focused and on track with the things that help me feel better. The title is misleading, but I had read the description of the book provided by amazon.com, therefore, I was aware of what the book was really about before I bought it. The book is very simple, which is a help for those with fibro because it is easy to get overwhelmed and confused. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to take an aggressive stance on their health, but needs some guidance and a format to follow.
