Book description
It is estimated that there are over 100,000 people suffering from M.
E. in Britain today. Although not a new disease, M. E. (also known as
'yuppie flu') is at last being recognised and taken seriously. M. E.
is short for MYALGIC ENCEPHALOMYSELITIS, a term which relates to the
parts of the body affected: MYALGIC, the muscles; ENCEPHALO, the
brain; and MYSELITIS, the nerves.
Until recently, many people suffering from M. E. had great
difficulty in finding a diagnosis and a way of dealing effectively
with their chronic fatigue. This comprehensive guide provides
much-needed information about the disease. It describes the symptoms
of M. E., what triggers it and who can get it and also discusses
additional problems such as sleep disorders, depression, pain in the
joints and difficulties with the eyes, ears and balance.
A well-researched, comprehensive guide, LIVING WITH M. E. is THE
book to buy for any M. E. sufferer who wants information not speculation.
