Hi M,

I have had a lot of books over the years about fibro, many of which have gone walkabout

(Not returned from being loaned 👀 )

The three I have to hand are

The First Year Fibromyalgia by Claudia Craig Marek, I did find this useful when I first got my "proper" diagnosis

Living with Fibromyalgia by Christine Craggs-Hinton

Fibromalgia and Muscle pain by Leon Chaitow, some of which I found useful, some bits not so much.

I have both Leon Chaitow & Christine Craggs-Hinton too, she sadly passed away last year in her 60's I believe. I have many others too! Books with 'legs' I think we all have had them ! He Hee!

I wonder if people may comment on their local libraries & whether they had any informative books on Fibro or are resources poor?

Certainly in my local library they are virtually non existent, but there again the library itself is very sadly under threat of closure😡

Hi Emma and All!

My favorite FM reference book is:

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Myofascial Pain: A Survival Manual,

written by Devin Starlanyl and Mary Ellen Copeland.

This book maps out Myofascial Trigger Points and much more.

I have had several M.D.s and "body workers" borrow this book. Many had eventually purchased their own copy for reference.

Happy World Book Day!

Hi emma, i too have a christine craggs-hinton, had not realised she had passed away, sad she was not old. At moment i am (very slowly) reading thomas cromwell by tracy borman, it is very interesting but i have to keep going over same bits again and again as short term memory is appalling. It does help that wolfhall has been on tv recently ! I have gathered quite a library of my own over the years and do find myself reading old books that it takes me 3/4 of the way through to realise i have read it before ! Am thinking of experimenting with talking books.
