It’s a very easy to read and easy to understand short book, it can be read in a few stints in a couple of hours, and I’d class myself as someone who can’t read books any more. It has large print and is well spaced out for us, plus it’s short.
I could totally relate to her story, and I think after today’s events of inconsiderate people who don’t believe I’m ill it helped me to nod along in agreement with her story as it’s so very much like mine and the millions of others like us.
It’s a very reasonable price of £5.35 and I’m sure she said all the money goes to the cause.
She has also written an accompanying letter which I will send with the 2 extra copies I bought to send to my GP and my neuro
I strongly recommend buying several copies to hand out to professionals and people who don’t get it, who you think will read it
I have read your book. Firstly I am surprised I managed it. I love the type font and spacing on pages. Secondly I found it really easy to take in when I normally struggle and have to reread a lot. Thirdly it was great to read someone talking in my language I didn’t struggle to understand. Fourthly I was not distracted thinking is this important do I need to remember as you have not bombarded the reader with science medical stuff. Fifthly I managed it in one day in three chunks. Sixthly I felt relief for my mum and dad as this is something that will clarify my situation and something for them to share with friends and family.
Phew
So when I handed a copy to my gp I could tell him that it was a very quick informative read not like a medical journal but a conversation that would take less than an hour to read.
It’s just brilliant - thank you.
Anyone still thinking about ordering it - just do it 🙂
as we read about the metamorphosis of her life, from a highly active and prestigious existence to one where she finds it hard on some days to brush her teeth.
If doctors read this book, they would be able to understand the illness better and be able to support their patients in gaining more perspective on M.E. while also educating others. Issues surrounding CBT and GET are raised within the book, and this doctor has a naturally engaging way of writing, which not only reveals her highly intelligent approach to communicating with others but also shows that she has used her experience in an altruistic way. Writing the book must have been a tall order and this is a superb publication. I am intending to buy several copies for family members, and also for my local surgery.

Its text layout is such that it aids reading and comprehension which is a must for anyone with the condition.
Its size and simplicity do not take anything away from the subject.
Written by a doctor who developed M.E/CFS themselves the content is direct and lays out the effects of the condition and the sceptical and negative attitudes of those in healthcare, and many family and friends, towards it which is rarely helpful.
The purpose of the book is to educate all. To inform family, friends and Health Professionals so that they can better understand and help those with this life-changing condition which is a huge step for anyone who needs such support.
Anybody with any illness should have the appropriate approach, care and compassion and this book is the light at the end of a very long and dark tunnel for so many people.
Very clearly and simply written and easily understood by non-medics about the dire consequences of the disease and what one devoted doctor (and her loving family) went though - eventually having to give up her profession.
