Get the Help and Support You Need to Cope with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Myofascial Pain*

"The Fibromyalgia Advocate is an invaluable resource for self-help that includes information on where and how to locate appropriate medical, legal and financial resources.  Devin Starlanyl has produced a monumental labor of love with candor and meticulous attention to important details.  Her book provides a timely beacon to guide most people with musculoskeletal pain problems through a dark, confusing, and frequently antagonistic array of health care and disability insurance providers into the daylight of pain relief and respect."

David G. Simons, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine at Emory University

"Devin Starlanyl has done it again.  She has compiled and distilled current research and theory about fibromyalgia into a readable book that will empower everyone who reads it.  Reading the appropriate sections in The Fibromyalgia Advocate will enable those who endure chronic pain to go to their caregiver (whether physician, chiropractor, physical therapist, nutritionist or pharmacist) armed with the knowledge to ask pertinent questions, to insist on consultation when necessary, and to participate productively in their own treatment. Such people will be much less likely to be dismissed by practitioners ignorant of the basic facts about fibromyalgia and musculoskeletal pain.  For these reasons, this book is a 'must-read."'

Robert Gerwin, MD, Department of Neurology, Johns Hopkins University, Pain and Rehabilitation Medicine Center

"All too often, those imprisoned by chronic pain become 'throw-away people' because the key to their incarceration has been thrown away. Devin Starlanyl's work, as represented in this book, explores the medical, emotional, legal and social avenues that will enable such prisoners to unlock their cell doors.  I heartily recommend The Fibromyalgia Advocate to all of my colleagues and their patients."
