London England: Thorsons, 1988. Paperback. Previous owners name to inside cover. Very slight shelf wear to edge of cover. M.E. - myalgic encephalomyelitis - is a debilitating illness which has been known by a number of names (most recently as post-viral fatigue syndrome), and in America as chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction syndrome, but which has largely been ignored by the medical profession, with sufferers often dismissed as hypochondriacs, neuroticsm or even malingerers. Now it has been clinically confirmed that M.E. is a very real organic disease affecting the brain, nerves and muscles, and with tests available sufferers can get a diagnosis to prove its presence. The author, an M.E. sufferer himself, describes the disease and its symptoms, and he lays down a strategy for managing it with alternative therapies and simple self-help techniques. He shows how to improve the quality of your life, and how to set out on the road to recovery. 112 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
