When I read the book I felt enormous relief. For the first time in my life, some one actually described accurately my illness - starting with the symptoms,going through phases of the illness and right to the impossible struggle of trying to get diagnosed - and acknowledged !

I have had most of the classical symptoms of CFS for years - but until I read this book I never quite realised that they were connected.

Neither did any of the family doctors that I went to.

The book is easy to read and optimistic - because it gives hope for healing, and because it treats CFS for what it its: a physical situation that needs healing.

It would teach some physicians about how patients feel when they come to a doctor who is simply ignorant and unwilling to learn.

If my physicians read it and understood - they would realise that CFS is a real, physical thing - it's not depression, it's not shirking it's not imaginary !

Dr. Ali's writings has helped me more than you can know. He helped me to understand my illness and conveyed ways to cope with it. I am now on the long, hard road to recovery thanks to Dr. Ali and my own personal physican.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, 8 Mar 1998

By A Customer

I've read quite a lot of books on this topic, and this is the one that I think is the most comprehensive and makes the most sense. An excellent guide.
