Congratulations - You're taking control of your condition and your future. We understand the difficulties you have endured to reach this point. Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue, while challenging in themselves, have not been made any easier by the varied opinions, lack of understanding and knowledge by a large percentage of the healthcare system. We also understand the tremendous need to work in conjunction with healthcare professionals who offer a focused, customized and comprehensive approach to manage your condition and for you to gain control of your life and destiny. Your commitment to work in partnership with your clinicians, through a comprehensive history, physical and testing regimen to identify underlying causes, should lead to an integrative, individualized treatment plan to meet your needs. Together you develop your long-term goals and this is a huge step forward. This book is dedicated to people like you who deserve the opportunity to take control, achieve a sense of well-being and true quality of life. We support your efforts and determination! "I know from personal experience how difficult this life-changing condition can be. Yet, you do have a choice to live a full and productive life. It takes some significant level of commitment to get control of your life again, but it can be done with the help of experienced and caring people." - Bob Baurys
