More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Essential information on the neurological disease M.E. sourced from the world's leading M.E. experts. Suitable for M.E. patients, their friends and family, partners, carers or doctors. The book includes a foreword by international M.E. expert Dr Byron Hyde. M.E.is a distinct neurological disease and is not at all the same thing as 'CFS.' Learning the facts is not time-consuming or complicated. Supporting your ill friend or family member or patient more fully by being aware of the basic facts of M.E. could make all the difference in the world to them. This book shows you how. Jodi Bassett is the founder of the international M.E. charity, HFME. Jodi contracted M.E. in 1995 when she was just 19. HFME contributors also aim to advocate for those non-M.E. patients who have been given the always meaningless 'CFS' diagnosis, and subsequently denied correct diagnosis and treatment.

A long awaited book.This book talks about ME as it actually is and not as part of CFS/ME. There are some very useful guides and tips to understand this illness. It is a very good book to read and the author has put a lot of time effort and research into this book. It has really helped me and my family.

Thank goodness for Jodi Bassett - and that is an understatement!! This is, without doubt, the clearest, most eye opening, factually supported book on ME anyone will ever need. Allied to the constantly updated website and you have the whole package for anyone suffering from ME and their families and friends. The amount of underpinning referenced medical facts allied with practical advice on managing the disease is second to none for patients, carers and any one who needs more knowledge and understanding about what this disease means in the medical and allied health professions. The ability scales are particularly useful for taking to doctor's appointments so they can actually 'see' what level of functioning the person is currently experiencing. It can also prove a useful tool for ongoing monitoring, especially when a patient is coming to terms with having this dreadful illness and needs to learn how to pace themselves. It is certainly a book that you can dip in and out of. Jodi has some good tips in the front of the book for different categories of readers (i.e. patient, partner, family, carer or health professional) to point them to certain parts of the book that are particularly useful initially for them to read, to dip their toe in so to speak and have an overview of the unique problems facing patients with ME daily. This will become the ME 'Bible'. Thank you Jodi...your balanced, knowledgeable and well researched contribution to the field of ME advocacy and understanding cannot be too highly praised and supported.
