Abstract

KENNER, Department of Parent-Child Health Nursing, College of Nursing and Health University of Cincinnati, Ohio USA review (17 references) writes that fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are not new conditions, but are the focus of more attention from research conducted in these fields. The author writes that FMS and CFS are primarily womens health problems and that in some instances there may be a genetic predisposition to these conditions, which may have emotionally and physically devastating impacts upon sufferers lives. The treatment plan should be holistic, interdisciplinary and include alternative therapies to enable the client and family to be truly supported and assisted to cope with such chronic conditions .
