As caregivers to FMS/MPS patients and sufferers themselves, their advice in the book was superbly tuned to readers' needs. Now, in this second edition, Starlanyl and Copeland have outshone themselves. Having updated the <em>Survival Manual</em> and enhanced its laudable features, they have made an already valuable book almost priceless."<br> --Dr. John C. Lowe, Director of Research, Fibromyalgia Research Foundation, Board Certified, American Academy of Pain Management</p><br><br>"They've done it again! This second edition of the <em>Survival Manual</em> is a gold mine of practical advice and scholarly information put into everyday language. This book gives a great many options for all aspects of FMS/CMP and its message is one of hope. An owner's manual for you, and one that should be required reading for all of your health care providers, this is not a book to be read and crossed off of your list, but a resource to avail yourself of over and over again. The tools are here. Use it yourself and have those close to you read it also."<br> --Richard Finn, Director, Academy for Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy, coauthor, <em> Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Manual Trigger Point & S-EMG Therapies </em><br><br><p>"Devin Starlanyl and her work are incredible resources to the fibromyalgic community.
