Customer Reviews

I have mixed feelings about this book.
I perused this book carefully because I want information on diet and FMS. There are good definitions of FMS, but the info and recipes seem to be geared toward reducing the "inflamation" of arthritis. As I understand it, FMS is not a condition of inflamation. Thus, my confusion. For forms of inflamatory arthritis conditions it looks excellent. I'd like to note that I have seen other books that tag FMS on to Arthritis in their titles or covers and don't seem to have much specific to FMS. A selling technique, I suppose. This book is attractive and seems very good for arthritis, but not specific for FMS.

Very helpful
This book has a lot of great suggestions for those dealing with arthritis. It provides techniques for cooking with less pain and effort and has recipes, too! I found it very helpful as a person who works with helping older adults cook and care for themselves. I highly recommend it for anyone with arthritis.

Good, Helpful, and Tasty!
I got this book, and I liked it very much. I am 14 and have JRA, OA, and Fibro. This book was very helpful, and the recipes were good. I would recommend it. I've read many books, and this is one of the better ones. I enjoyed the food much!!
