The
Arthritis Helpbook – A Tested Self-Management Program for Coping with
Arthritis and FibromyalgiaBy Kate Lorig, RN, Dr. PH, James Fries, MD
This book is an excellent educational resource for people suffering from arthritic conditions. The authors do a good job of explaining how arthritis conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia) cause pain. The objective of the book is to help the reader become and "arthritis self-manager". Through education, the authors hope to enable the reader with arthritis to lead a healthier, more active lifestyle with less pain. Because there is no cure for many of these chronic conditions, patients need to find ways to manage their condition, and education about treatment options is a key component to this management.
