Book Description

ISBN-10: 1857566300 | ISBN-13: 978-1857566307 | Publication Date: November 1, 2007

Filled with mischievously wry wit, this semiautobiographical narrative is an inspiring and hugely enjoyable day-by-day account of a year in the life of a myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome, sufferer. Privy to the notable events, everyday routine, and innermost thoughts of Verity Red, the skepticism and lack of understanding surrounding this recently recognized condition is addressed, as well as the common symptoms boredom, the feeling of low self-worth, exhaustion, and the craving for comfort foods.

This review is from: Verity Red's Diary: A Story of Surviving M. E. (Paperback)

If you have a "Chronic Fatigue" related condition, or a friend or a relative that does, then this book is a must have. It's a great read for anyone really - a window into the real world of coping with fatigue - realistic, funny (yes!) sensitive and true. The author rightly subtitles it with "A Story of Surviving M.E."
Check it out on the Amazon.co.uk site for more detailed reviews and information. I would give it SIX STARS if I could!
