Book Review

Fibromyalgia: Finally Solving the Mystery

As reviewed by New York Times best-selling author Ellen Tanner Marsh

The condition known as fibromyalgia has long been considered psychosomatic in origin. Men and women suffering some or all of its dramatic effects — insomnia, depression, pain, irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue — were often ushered out of the family doctor's office and into the psychiatrist's. In many cases, a sense of hopelessness prevailed and, with it, thoughts of suicide. However, much has changed since then, and fibromyalgia sufferers can thank author Paul Whitcomb for leading the charge into new and exciting areas.

Paul E. Whitcomb, Doctor of Chiropractics, is credited with discovering the cause of fibromyalgia. A former sufferer himself, he refused to accept the diagnoses and prognostications of the traditional medical community and committed himself to diligent research. What causes fibromyalgia? The primary etiology, Whitcomb claims, is head or neck trauma that results in changes in the alignment between the occipital and the atlas (C-1) vertebrae. When there is a narrowing of space through which the spinal cord and accompanying meninges must pass, the meninges experiences a "pulling" that results in a myriad of symptoms that, together, are labeled as fibromyalgia.

Aware of the devastating effects of this illness on patients and their families, Whitcomb has written Fibromyalgia: Solving the Mystery, perhaps the first comprehensive treatise on a condition capable of destroying lives, families, careers. From his definition of this once baffling ailment to descriptions of its various symptoms both physical and psychological, as well as research findings and treatments, Whitcomb's voice is steady and reassuring, giving hope with each revelation. Most importantly, Whitcomb reminds us that fibromyalgia is real and that it is treatable, knowledge that should bring relief to millions of sufferers and their families.

Indeed, whether one suffers this often misdiagnosed illness, lives with its victim, or knows someone struggling with its consequences, this book provides tremendous support and enlightenment for both layman and medical professional alike. Highly readable compelling in its findings, and offering a wealth of information, Fibromyalgia: Solving the Mystery is ultimately for those who have too long stood in the dark.
