Excerpt: Fibromyalgia and the MindBodySpirit Connection

March 13, 2000

I have permission from Parkview Publishing to distribute an

excerpt from the new book, " Fibromyalgia and the

MindBodySpirit Connection: 7 Steps for Living a Healthy

Life with Widespread Muscular Pain and Fatigue " by William

B. Salt II, M.D. and Edwin H. Season, M.D. The excerpt I am

distributing is from the Introduction, " Your Prescription for

Change! "

Do you ache all over and have a terrible time sleeping? Has

your doctor told you that there's nothing wrong with you and

that your symptoms are just in your head? You and millions of

others -- especially women -- who voice these complaints,

aren't suffering from the flu and are not hypochondriacs.

Instead, you're most likely suffering from fibromyalgia. In this

excerpt " Your Prescription for Change, " coauthors Drs. Salt

and Season discuss fibromyalgia, its relationship to other

" functional " syndromes and provide a general overview of

how -- with a mind-body-spirit approach in a 7-step plan --

you can heal and become healthier than before.

William B. Salt II, M.D., is board-certified in internal

medicine and gastroenterology and is a Clinical Associate

Professor in Medicine at The Ohio State University. Edwin H.

Season, M.D., is board-certified in orthopedic surgery and

specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal

pain. He has been in private practice for over twenty years in

Columbus, Ohio.

To get the excerpt, send ips with the

subject line, " Send Fibromyalgia " and I will reply with a text

file. If you'd like to talk to the coauthors, Drs. Salt and Season,
