You may be familiar with Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS), but many are not.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Big Disappointment . . ., December 10, 2002

This review is from: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Living with the Unknown (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

I ordered this book hoping to gain some insight into a crippling and emotionally complex disease. I was extremely disappointed to discover the complete lack of quality in the author's writing. The book is riddled with grammatical errors and misspellings. The narrative is aimless. It appears that not one single person ever copyedited this manuscript at any point during the publishing process.

My advice: don't waste your dollars or your sense on this amateurish and overpriced book.

Try "Stricken" by Peggy Munson, "Facing and Fighting Fatigue" by Benjamin Natelson, or "Beyond Chaos" by Gregg Piburn. These are all valuable and well-written books on Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome.

Best wishes to all of my CFIDS sisters and brothers!
