Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Ok

⭐Gave me more insight.

⭐great product; great seller

⭐The book is large but the information is the same you get in any book on Chronic Fatique Syndrome but too much filler to create a regular size book from the Dummies series. Most of the smaller books I ordered I found to be much more helpful.

⭐Very informative and reassuring. A wealth of knowledge on a little known subject.

⭐I’ve had cfids for 3 years. I have read many books and wasted many hours on the net for information. This book is the best I’ve encountered yet. It has so much information and is all right on the money. She is very practical and down to earth as well as diving into the scientific stuff. Since CFS is so complex she covers all kinds of aspects and suggests things to help cope. As far as excercise, yes it can make you feel worse if you overdo it, of course you aren’t going to do what normal people do or do it on a ‘bad’ day but on decent days most can do stretching and walking. It doesn’t help to just let yourself go. I’m surprised at the other review here that gave one star. I say check it out for yourself so you don’t miss out on this awsome book as a result of one bad review.

⭐God bless you if you or your loved one has CFS. We’re going into year three and noticing slight improvements. Counseling and muscle relaxant (for regular sleep) has helped.

⭐Great book with basic information.

⭐Well written book explaining the condition in a way which is easy to understand.

⭐Excellent condition as described.Already read it and very insightful, thank you

⭐Excellent informative book.

⭐A GREAT DAY-TO-DAY HANDBOOK

⭐This book is great, very in depth and very informative. A definate guide and contains little stories of people who have had CFS along the way.THe only bad points are that there is no functionability scale and it is an american book so the disabilities section is not right if you are in briatin. But overall a really good book!P.s. it is not about ME beacuse it is NOT meant to be about ME
