Who is the Fibro expert? - Fibromyalgia Message Board

Is there someone that is an expert on fibro? I would like to get a current book on fibro.

Also- is fibro inflammation? autoimmune? (I seem to remember there has been a change of opinion on this)

Thanks!

I think fibro is now considered CNS (central nervous system). It is autoimmune and it use to be listed with connective tissue disease (CTD). Dr. Jacob Tietlebaum has some very good books out about fibro. There is a Dr. Lowe I have heard mentioned on the board and I have just been reading a book by Dr. Daniel Wallace about fibro. He is considered a leading authority on Lupus and I have his book on that so when I saw his book on fibro I decided to try it. I have also read Fatigue to Fantastic by Dr. Tietlebaum it was very good also. Hope this helps.
