Welcome! Fibromyalgia FACTS is a 4-part educational initiative designed to help you recognize, assess, and treat fibromyalgia. Each component of Fibromyalgia FACTS will take you deeper into self-directed learning, building a solid evidence-based foundation from which to make care decisions in your everyday practice. Two of the components are certified for CME credit.

Fibromyalgia is difficult to manage, whether you are a patient or a physician. There's lots of good information out there, but also much misinformation. How do you tell if a patient has fibromyalgia? What can you do to treat it? Does the same approach work for everyone? What about diet and lifestyle issues? You need the FACTS.

The Expert Panel Supplement is a case-based supplement to CNS Spectrums and Primary Psychiatry, available here to read online or print as a PDF. (CME-certified)

The Interactive Case Studies includes 2 interactive audio cases where you will have the opportunity to make treatment decisions based on clinical evidence, and see how your decisions stack up against the experts. (CME-certified)

The "Ask-the-Experts" question-and-answer forum is a place where you can submit your questions and the faculty will answer. Questions and answers will be updated every month so that you can see what your colleagues are asking and get expert opinion on perplexing issues in fibromyalgia management.

The Resource Guide lists recommended reading and helpful links to assist you in continued learning and implementing new information into your everyday practice.
