Fibromyalgia: Unravelling the Mysteries of the Dis-Ease

By: Barbara A. Keddy R.N. Ph.D.

As an invisible and somewhat mysterious syndrome fibromyalgia (FMS) affects millions. It is poorly understood by the contemporary medical establishment and it is difficult to find effective treatment. There is a great deal of fear associated with FMS and its companion chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). It is little wonder that those afflicted are frustrated and often feel hopeless after searching for a long time for the causes of chronic pain and fatigue and then finally receiving a tentative diagnosis. Many have felt ashamed and guilty of living with a condition for which they often feel denigrated and is not easily diagnosed. This book is somewhat of a sequel to the first book Women and Fibromyalgia Living with an Invisible Dis-ease, published in 2007. However, it is an updated and more inclusive approach, presenting daring, tentative theories about these two conditions, based upon the research that has evolved over recent years. The author who has been living with FMS and CFS for many decades, writing blogs on a website and looking back on the formal interviews from the first book, a developed a comprehensive theoretical approach will entice the reader suffering from these syndromes to reconsider their own lives and to live more hopefully with the challenges of these conditions. Answers to their many questions will finally be put to rest. The types of personalities of those who develop these syndromes may appear scientifically unproven but the approach presented is supported by the hundreds of people world wide who agree with the theories put forward, the comments of which were found primarily on the website from which this book was sprung. It is a maze which has placed the dots in a comprehensive model for understanding.. FMS, CFS, PTSD are linked together for their commonalities of symptoms. Symptoms and management strategies are discussed of all three.

Women and Fibromyalgia

Living with an Invisible Dis-ease

By: Barbara Keddy

Dr. Keddy captures the patient's experience of living and coping with suffering in the poignant interviews with twenty women who have fibromyalgia, herself included." -Dr. Jock Murray, medical humanities and neurology professor, Dalhousie University Medical School Fibromyalgia, a musculoskeletal condition characterized by widespread chronic pain and fatigue, specific tender points, and sleep disturbance, is a major medical and social concern for physicians, employers, workers' compensation boards, and the insurance industry. But what about those who suffer from the condition? Drawing on her own experiences as well as the stories of twenty other women living with the challenges of fibromyalgia, Barbara A. Keddy, RN, PhD, discusses current theories of causes and types of treatments. She also speculates about why this condition is more prominent among women than men. By sharing these stories, Keddy highlights the invisibility of the daily difficulties fibromyalgia sufferers face. With its uniquely personal perspective, Women and Fibromyalgia validates Keddy's experience and offers hope for her and others that they will someday take back control of their bodies.
