Abstract
Preview Many patients with fibromyalgia syndrome suffer for years before the proper diagnosis is made. Because their symptoms mimic those of more serious diseases, a careful search for other causes is essential. Dr Romano presents a method of systematic evaluation to aid diagnosis and also suggests a number of approaches to an effective treatment plan.Keywords
