"Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Syndrome," the latest book by Devin Starlanyl, is now available for pre-order on Amazon. (link) The goal of this book is to help you regain maximum function with minimum pain. There has been a wealth of research published since "Healing through Trigger Point Therapy." The majority of research in the new book was published since the older book was written. Fibromyalgia (FM) is very real. Learn why FM has been so difficult for others to define. This book gives you a clear and understandable definition. Learn why and how your symptoms develop and what to do about them. Treatment can now be simpler and more accessible for you and your medical team. This book validates why your pain can be intense, complete with research backing up what you have been trying to explain to others. New technology has revealed so much about myofascial pain syndrome and fibromyalgia. Find out what this research means for you, with a greater emphasis on how to find and treat the cause of your symptoms. Included are chapters on genetic factors, sleep dysfunctions, and confusing symptoms such as fibro-fog and memory lapses. This book is bigger, so much of what was in the Healing TrPs book is not included to make room for what we have learned. The contents, including the best way to treat fibromyalgia, are thoroughly referenced with the latest medical research. Learn how to get what you need to improve your quality of life.
