The book is extremely well written. However, I had a hard time understanding everything because of the medical words being used.

I can’t say enough about this book. Since the moment I have received this book for my wife she hasn’t put the book down. It is really helping me and her cope with the fact that she has CFS and Fibromyalgia. I would recommend this to everyone who needs help understanding this. [...].
Rating: 5 / 5
I run a support group for CFIDS and Fibromyalgia and this is the first book I recommend to people. I have read MANY books on the illnesses over the past few years since I was first diagnosed, and I always come back to this one! It’s my favorite book in my CFIDS/Fibro “library” I ahve accumulated. I also recommend Mary Shomon’s books on thyroid disorders.

Although I have neither of these conditions, I know people who do. This book has given me great insight for which I’m grateful. Ms. Shomon has done it again — written a book that makes sense and educates without being dry and boring. Thank you!

While Ms Shomon’s book quotes several CFS doctors, she relies mainly on Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum’s advice which includes a barrage of vitamins. His book is titled “From Fatigued to Fantastic” and he wrote the introduction to Ms. Shomon’s. It bothers me that Ms. Shomon presents many alternative therapies that are highly suspect and cost prohibitive for the most of us. However, she speaks from experience having suffered from CFS. It bothers me that she does not mention Kutapressin, an amino acid injection that my doctor and many others in the field use.
