Living with M.E.: The Chronic/Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome

By Charles Shepherd

Although not a new disease, M.E. (also known as 'yuppie flu') is at last being recognised and taken seriously. M.E. is short for Myalgic Encephalomyselitis, a term which relates to the parts of the body affected: Myalgic, the muscles; Encephalo, the brain; and Myselitis, the nerves. Until recently, many people suffering from M.E. had great difficulty in finding a diagnosis and a way of dealing effectively with the disease. Now fully updated, this comprehensive guide provides much-needed information about M.E. It describes the symptoms, what triggers it and who can get it and also discusses additional problems such as disordered sleep, depression, pain in the joints and difficulties with the eyes, ears and balance.

A WONDERFUL RESOURCE

Just want to say how much I have enjoyed your book, and am finding it a wonderful source of information. We are planning to buy copies for every public library here in New Zealand together with copies for support groups as we feel that people with ME/CFS and their support groups need ready access to it.
