Fibromyalgia: Overview of Etiology, Pathophysiology, Treatment, and Management is a downloadable PDF report that explains Fibro in an understandable way for the patient, but is really geared for a diagnosing (family or general) practitioner.
The article was published in Pain Medicine News, December 2011 edition, and was written by Dr. Charles E. Argoff: Professor of Neurology, Albany Medical College & Director, Comprehensive Pain Program, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York.
It explains how to diagnose, what key surveys and inventory’s a patient should take to diagnose Fibro, and some evidence-based approaches to managing the condition.
If you are a referring physician, or are looking for a way to better understand what we know about Fibromyalgia from a technical perspective, this is well worth a read.
