Fibromyalgia is a common and chronic medical disorder<BR />characterized by widespread pain and often coupled<BR />with other symptoms such as fatigue, disturbed sleep,<BR />chronic headaches, and other ailments. Recent research<BR />shows that the disorder is directly related to decreased<BR />levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. The solution,<BR />renowned rheumatologist Dr. David Dryland argues, is<BR />to regulate levels of dopamine in the body through an<BR />"off-label protocol" using the FDA-approved medications<BR />Mirapex and Requip, which help mute pain<BR />signals traveling from the body to the brain. This vital<BR />and necessary book will also show readers how to:<BR />- develop a protocol to successfully treat fibromyalgia<BR />- identify what causes the disease and its debilitating<BR />flare-ups<BR />- determine which symptoms can be attributed to<BR />fibromyalgia and which cannot<BR />- use non-drug treatments for relieving the painful<BR />symptoms of the disease<BR />- and more.
