Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a disorder that is characterized by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, muscle stiffness, and nonrestorative sleep.

Are you confused and perplexed about the overwhelming information on fibromyalgia? Do you want to know what treatments work, or which medications help fibromyalgia? Would you like to know how you got the illness? Our book will give you information on sleep difficulties, up to date research, exercise, coping skills, pain management, newest treatments, and many resources. Additionally, you will understand how fibromyalgia is diagnosed. Our book may be the only book you need to own to understand fibromyalgia or it will make a great addition to your fibromyalgia library.

We have included in our recent edition a special section for support group leaders which gives tips and advice for running a group and how to use the book with your groups.

Learn how Dr. Thomas Romano, Dr. Michael McNett, Dr. Jorge Flechas and Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum help their patients in our physician protocol section!


Taking Charge of Fibromyalgia is written by two health professionals who have helped thousands of fibromyalgia patients learn how to manage and overcome this perplexing, painful illness. Our book has been used for over 14 years by physical therapy clinics, hospitals, nurses, psychologists, social workers and other health professionals who work with patients who have fibromyalgia.

Because co-authors Rosalie and Julie, have fibromyalgia themselves and have overcome symptoms, they bring a personal understanding about the illness and know how awful it can be! We have reduced our symptoms by using many of the treatments offered in our book. YOU CAN TOO!

Fibromyalgia Educational Systems offers for sale a 285-page handbook, Taking Charge of Fibromyalgia, for patients, their families, and health professionals. It provides the most up-to-date information available for understanding, managing, and coping with fibromyalgia. The most recent edition was updated in May 2005.

There is not yet a cure for fibromyalgia, but with proper education and treatment, many people can learn to decrease their symptoms. We believe that you can learn to take charge of fibromyalgia.
