Biopsychosocial Approaches to Managing Fibromyalgia - Softcover

How has fibromyalgia impacted you? Chronic illness can have devastating effects, and people living with fibromyalgia score the lowest on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scales over all other chronic diseases. This means that tens of millions of people's lives are significantly impacted by pain, fatigue, and other symptoms from fibromyalgia, resulting in staggering rates of morbidity. Biopsychosocial Approaches to Managing Fibromyalgia exposes the fundamental characteristics of fibromyalgia along with the interventions required to successfully live with a chronic pain condition. Author Robert Brill shares the complex journey to wellness with fibromyalgia as he walks the reader through the necessary lifestyle changes coupled with the critical need to adjust your attitude to accept this life-altering illness. With any chronic pain condition, we are often left without answers. It can take years to figure out how to learn to live with endless pain and fatigue, and in that time, we struggle to survive. Robert has created a wellness approach that reverses much of the devastation fibromyalgia can cause, to help you live a normal life again. The process of reversing fibromyalgia involves adapting a lifestyle management approach that begins with accepting your disease, adjusting your attitude for success, educating yourself about your condition, and adapting to new limitations.
