This book started out looking very promising. It appeared as if it would answer the need for a good book for friends and family members. However, as I continued to read, I became very upset, as there was a distinct intimation that there is a strong psychological etiology to FMS, and that if the patient would just get on with life, everything would be fine. I refused to place a copy of it in our support group library. I felt betrayed by it's attitude.
