The Bible on Chronic Fatigue!.......2000-08-31
This book is a must for all people who suffer with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. I read it slowly, trying to absorb each and every suggestion that was written.
Changed My Life (For the Better).......2000-06-30
My boss bought this book for me, and I thought it was going to be just another, "yeah, you have fibromyalgia and it's a real shame, this is how you cope with it", but instead, this book CHANGED MY LIFE! (Sorry for the run-on sentence). I had so much pain that some days I couldn't get out of bed. I would find a position that was minimally pain free and not move until I was better. It got so bad that I had to use a cane so I could get to work. But I read the book and I couldn't believe the case histories. But when the pain got so bad that I thought I would lose my job, I changed my diet (hey, what did I have to lose? ) and low and behold, within a week the pain was gone (I stopped taking pain medicine everyday), the "fog" lifted and I felt better than I had in YEARS! Another side benefit, is that I have lost weight! But I recommend this book very highly. I will also say that my doctors have pooh-poohed these results, but I firmly believe that what we eat, really effects how we feel. I just never knew how much!
A must have for the Chronic Fatigue/Fibromyalgia sufferer!.......2000-05-18
If you have or know someone who suffers from fibromyalgia (chronic muscle pain) or chronic fatigue, you absolutely must get this book. Don't waste one more minute, order it now. IT could save your life. Don't believe the naysayers who tell you that nothing can be done. There is plenty that can be done. Not all of it will work, but at least you now have a good place to get started, and techniques that have proven successful for others. Plus the book gives you excellent resources for finding the best doctors out there to get you well. Any questions feel free to contact me at srowe@nbn.net
A Book with HOPE.......2000-05-01
Anyone person suffering these illness, and has struggled with the lack of medical help, NEEDS HOPE. I felt this was truly provided in this book along with the information of Healing. Just reading this book, helped my depression of long term illness that no Dr. could see, touch or give me a Rx for. Getting older or gaining weight, being female did not cause these health problems. Seeing other accounts of similar problems has given me a place to start investigating just what is wrong with my health and so armed with this information, I think can be the first step on the path to wellness.
A must have for those afflcted, needing solid facts/answers!.......1999-11-05
After many hours of searching and reading, this book combines documented clinical facts and case studies. I too suffered with these conditions and have found this book and its treatments to produce positive results! I have been in the medical profession for 20 years and had to leave the field because of my condition, but until recently, have I put these practices to the test, and have found those that work for me. If you really suffer from this, trust me, YOU NEED this book. For those interested, please feel free to write me and I'll discuss with you my own treatment plan and results..

Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and Lyme Disease.......2007-04-16
This book is jam-packed with information for treating the multiple dysfunctions found in Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and Lyme Disease. It provides more insights on how to treat the latter two conditions than any other book I have read. What's even more impressive, it presents perspectives from a multitude of experts, so that a well-rounded approach to healing can be formulated.
I had to read this book several times to absorb all of the information in it and gained many valuable insights from it.
That said, I found the information on Lyme Disease to be sorely lacking and the section on Lyme to be rather small. Also, in many cases, CFIDS, Fibromyalgia ARE actually manifestations of Lyme Disease, and I don't recall the book emphasizing this.
Granted, much information about how to treat Lyme has just recently emerged and this information may have not been available at the time that this book was published, yet I believe that a more in-depth discussion of Lyme would have been appropriate.
Overall, however, this book is an excellent source of information for anyone wanting to learn about the aforementioned conditions and how to manage them.
Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia & Lyme Disease.......2005-09-16
Overall it is very informative. However, it was lacking in areas such as how to manage low blood pressure which is found in 70% of chronic fatigue patients. In fact, the tilt test which is used by the Social Security Administration (for disability claims)as a marker for the syndrome is never mentioned (my blood pressure dropped to 56/33 during this test). Dr. Cheney and Dr. Bell as well as other leading doctors/researchers who were/are the pioneers in identifying and treating CFS/FMS have protocols for low bp which would be helpful to CFS patients. There is little attention paid to the real leaders in this field. Although Teitelbaum, Chaitow, and Lapp were mentioned, other leaders were forgotten. There is serious research being done (and findings) at the University of Oregon and University of Miami that was totally neglected. In place of referencing these leading doctors, physicians like Dr. Haimes are referenced who is skilled with hgh therapy for anti-aging but who is not very knowledgeable with CFS or Fibromylagia nor does he claim to specialize in CFS/FMS treatments (the two syndromes I suffer with and subjects of this book). So readers have to take care not to use these physician references in the book as referrals to doctors who subscribe to the protocols/insights of this book.
Unbelievably thorough and right on the money!.......2004-10-07
Holy Smokes! I have been looking for the answers to my environmental illness/fybromyalgia problems for nearly 3 years, and have just been diagnosed with Lyme Disease as well. The answers to my remaining questions were found IN THIS ONE BOOK!
The authors have made sure to show pictures, diagrams, etc., so even the lay person can understand where certain body parts reside and how they do or do not work, depending on your situation. I consider myself to be reasonably well-informed on the subjects covered in Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and Lyme Disease; and I have been able to help many others who sufferer with these diseases. Yet I have NEVER seen such a wonderful resource all in one place before! If you have these health problems, don't pass this one by! There is a lot you can do for yourself without having to damage your body/liver further with just massive doses of heavy-duty allopathic meds. :-):-)

Customer Reviews:
The book about ME/CFS I refer to more than any other.......2005-03-07
It's just so good.
This book has case studies of people with ME/CFS, it details the history of the illness, has an extremely in-depth discussion of symptoms cross referenced with treatment information, sections on food issues and avoiding chemicals in the home, sections on pharmaceuticals as well as other treatments from acupuncture to vitamins, tips on coping with ME/CFS emotionally and just about everything else you could think of as well! The authors are both long-term ME/CFS sufferers and they say they tried to make this book the resource they wish they'd had years ago.
Some of my friends and I refer to this book as the ME/CFS Bible it's just so useful. I'm always referring back to it when I get a new symptom or a new medication. It is just brilliant; I couldn't say enough good things! It has helped me out so many times - my copy is very ratty looking!
Everything is so well organized and it has a perfect balance between making complicated medical information understandable but not making it feel dumbed down at all.
It also has a really great bit about how we need to stop talking about `fatigue' too.
The fact it doesn't ever really mention the severely affected is the one thing that lets this book down, it's fantastic in every other way but it just doesn't tell you how to deal with severe symptoms or illness at all really. It's an enormous omission.
But apart from that, excellent! Buy this book:)
An updated version or new edition is needed..........2004-07-12
This book is great and should be part of your CFS library. However, it was published in 1998, a new edition needs to come with upated information. There is plenty of revised and new information that has occured with CFS in the last 7 years.
Excellent Source.......2001-05-22
This is a detailed, concise guide to CFS. Very useful in explaining all of the symptoms, and includes both pharmaceutical and herbal treatments. If you believe you are suffering from chronic fatigue, this book will answer the questions you have.
I refer constantly to this best book on CFIDS.......2000-08-28
If you buy just one book on CFIDS, make it this one. The authors cover just about every CFIDS symptom imaginable along with suggested treatments and the treatments' pros and cons. Added bonuses include a cataloging of medications and natural remedies used to treat CFIDS with notes on possible side effects. I found discussions of even my wackiest symptoms, those I thought no one could ever possibly understand (including the "sensory storm" which a previous reviewer mentions). The authors are CFIDS sufferers themselves, so reading the book is like talking to an extra-knowledgeable and empathetic friend. As a previous reviewer mentioned, this impressively researched and thorough book is a great one to bring along to the doctor.

Painfully insightful book by an author with CFIDS.......1999-04-12
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!

this is a very informative book written in a non-technical way. journalists (i am a freelance writer) will find lots of interesting background material here - the symptoms of CFS, various natural treatment options as well as worldwide resources for further research. one very helpful feature in this book is the personal experience of CFS patients, and this i found enlightening.i highly recommend this book.

Understanding Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.......2000-06-10
As a PhD psychologist and a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome sufferer since 1987, I found this book exceptionally helpful. This is the first book I have read on the topic that demonstrated that the authors truly understood the illness from a patient's and professional's perspective, AND offerred useful and effective treatment suggestions. I have recommended it to my primary care physician and my shrink! I think it has much to offer patients as well.
