Fibromyalgia Impact and Mindfulness Characteristics in 4986 People with Fibromyalgia
A growing body of literature suggests that mindfulness techniques may be beneficial in fibromyalgia. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis of six trials indicated improvement in depressive symptoms and quality of life, calling for increased rigor and use of standardized measures in future trials. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between mindfulness [as measured by the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ)] and fibromyalgia impact [as measured by the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR)].

Similarities and differences in the experience of fatigue among people living with fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, ankylosing spondylitis and stroke
Conclusion and relevance to clinical practiceFatigue is commonly expressed by patients with long‐term illnesses. Variations in experience are related to the type of diagnosis. The disparity between experiences influences how patients managed and adjusted to the conditions of everyday life. The illness‐specific characteristics of fatigue warrant increased clinical awareness and may allow professionals to offer adequate information and establish effective methods of managing the condition. The feeling of invisibility and difficulty describing the experience of fatigue in particular highlights this need.

Self-Efficacy and Affect as Mediators Between Pain Dimensions and Emotional Symptoms and Functional Limitation in Women With Fibromyalgia
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of self-efficacy and affect as mediators of the relationship between pain and several fibromyalgia (FM) symptoms (functional limitation, depression, and anxiety). We evaluated 144 women with FM for self-reported pain (numerical pain scale), pressure pain sensitivity (pressure pain thresholds), functional limitation (Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire), self-efficacy (Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Scale), depression-anxiety (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), and positive-negative affect (Positive-Negative Affect Scale).

Care of patients with fibromyalgia: assessment and management.
Abstract Fibromyalgia is a common condition characterised by widespread musculoskeletal pain, muscle stiffness, unrefreshed sleep and fatigue. The condition is associated with several physical and psychological manifestations, including irritable bowel syndrome and anxiety. The efficacy of drug therapy is limited, therefore the nurse has an important role in providing advice and guidance on symptom management to optimise functioning for patients.

In Your Emotional Type, Michael Jawer and Marc Micozzi have presented an intriguing concept, that identification of emotional boundary type can inform one's choice of complementary alternative medicine therapy, but their execution is imperfect. They touch on the timely topic of personalized medicine and provide a framework for identifying which patients can expect to benefit more from acupuncture than, for example, hypnosis. They have an interesting take on the mind−body connection, which they refer to as bodymind, explaining that our intense memories are encoded not just cognitively but also viscerally within the body. ...
