It also deals with many other non-medical issues, such as education, work and money worries; managing everyday tasks like shopping and driving; maintaining a social life; and communicating with others about this commonly misunderstood condition.
It includes specific information on caring for someone with CFS/ME, especially the severely ill, and provides overviews of medication and alternative treatments, as well as a summary of the latest research and search for a cure.
