Comprehensive up-to-date information, 13 Sep 2000
By A Customer
The prime purpose of my book is to provide up-to-date information on all aspects of this illness. I write as both a doctor/Medical Director of the ME Association and as someone who suffers from the illness, which was triggered by an attack of chickenpox.By learning about the range of treatment options - both orthodox and alternative - currently available, appropriate changes in lifestyle, benefit provision, and all the practical and emotional aspects of coping with a long-term condition such as this, I hope that you, too, can now make a start on the road to recovery. Subjects which are covered by chapters include: Names, Definitions and Numbers (of people with ME/CFS); History of ME/CFS in Different Parts of the World; What Causes ME/CFS?; Symptoms - principle and secondary; Other Causes of Chronic Fatigue and their Diagnosis; Quality of Life, Disability Assessment and Recovery Prospects; Current Research; Dealing with your Doctor; Pregnancy; Drug Treatments; Self-Help; Mind and Body; Alternative and Complementary Approaches; Children with ME/CFS; Pregnancy; Relationships; Employment Issues; Running your Home; Increasing your Mobility; Additional Help and DSS Benefits; Useful Addresses; Bibliography of over 5OO research References. This is the third edition of my book which remains a best seller both here and abroad. Charles Shepherd (author)
