Painfully insightful book by an author with CFIDS,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Comprehensive Guide to Symptoms, Treatments, and Solving the Practical Problems of CFS (Paperback)
As a newly diagnosed person, this is one of the first books that I read. The explanation of CFIDS and general treatments available is well written. Author sites his specific symptoms and how it has affected his life, which at times is painful to read. My favorite chapters included the one on dealing with family and friends and the interview with the doctor from Massachusetts. This interview lends credibility to the disease and was concise. Happy reading!

Woefully out of date,
This review is from: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Comprehensive Guide to Symptoms, Treatments, and Solving the Practical Problems of CFS (Paperback)
I bought the ebooks version of this, and was extremely disappointed to find it was a re-issue of a book last issued in 1989. The author's personal story is interesting, but the medical information is seriously outdated, and the tone is very depressing.

CFIDS help book.,
By Jimmie Hathaway II (Antelope, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Paperback)
This is one of the better books on CFIDS. It covers the Social Security appeal process so you know what to expect. The book covers the author's experience and his wife's since 1982. The book covers symptoms, diagnosis, understanding your illness, treatments, depression caused by CFIDS, coping, financial hardship, advice for friends and family. There is an interview with Anthony Komaroff, M.D. In the Appendix covers where to go to get some help.
