Book description
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) affects
approximately 180,000 people in the UK and one million people in the
USA, though millions more suffer fatiguing illnesses which don't meet
the strict diagnostic criteria for CFS. Chronic fatigue is
characterised by persistent and unusual tiredness that has lasted for
more than six months, is not cured by rest, and is made worse by any
physical and/or mental activity. Other symptoms include muscle pain,
headaches, sleep disturbance, loss of concentration and memory, sore
throats, and swollen glands. Although recognised by the World Health
Organisation as a neurological condition, it is still misunderstood,
and specialist healthcare is scarce. This book looks at how to use
your own resources to fight chronic fatigue.
