Further validation studies of the FSQ in clinical and general population settings are necessary. [Germans testing the validity of the Preliminary Diagnostic Criteria for diagnosing Fibromyalgia. I have concerns regarding not addressing some unresolved concerns. More testing of this tool is indicated, and of course, I would like to see someone address the plethora of research that suggests the comorbidity of myofascial pain syndrome. Cc]

BOOK REVIEW
Breaking Thru the Fibro Fog: Scientific Proof Fibromyalgia is Real by Kevin White, MD, PhD
Dr. Kevin White does a magnificent job providing scientific fact that fibromyalgia is a very real and disabling disorder. He speaks to two audiences the patient and the healthcare community. Though he is a clinician and researcher you wouldn't believe he didn't have fibromyalgia himself. To have such insight as a practitioner is a gift to those for whom he advocates. He has an innate ability to make the reader anxious to hear more about science, which is usually pretty boring reading. No difficulty keeping me tuned in, other than my own disparity of the side effects of having fibromyalgia.
