A more complete discussion of the CFIDS symptoms is here
A great guide to
understanding this highly complex illness.
When diagnosed with CFS, I didn't know anything about it. I
immediately decided to learn all I could about this syndrome, and this
book provided more information than I ever hoped for. The
authors truly understand what it is like to have CFS, and absolutely
validated my feelings and symptoms. The book offers
information about prescription drugs, herbal remedies and vitamins that
is thorough and helpful. I am glad to report that I am
feeling much better after taking some of the recommended supplements,
which are not mentioned in any of the other literature I found on this
subject. If you are going to buy one book about CFS, this is
the one to get. It's the only one you'll need. A reader from Los
Angeles, California , April 9, 1999
