there is at least one book with a title that's something like, nutrition for fibromyalgia.

is she also interested in more general books?

Also, any studies or books talking about correlations between trauma/PTSD, depression/mental health issues and fibromyalgia?

only about a million. despite studies having proven time and again that depression is concurrent with FMS/CFIDS/MCS and that people with them are statistically no more likely to have been depressed pre-illness than controls, people are unfortunately still beating that dead horse. as to emotional trauma, some studies have shown a correlation in general, some a correlation specifically between emotional-trauma-caused PTSD (but not emotional trauma in general) and them.

thanks

i was asking about the trauma/abuse & depression & fibromyalgia as my client feels they may all be related for her (the first causing the 2nd two).
