Synopsis

Since its publication in April 2014, Dr Myhill s guide to understanding and overcoming CFS/ME has become a must-read for sufferers from this poorly understood condition. As the 99 5-star reviewers on Amazon say: This is the first book I ve read that really provides hope for medical treatment of CFS/ME ; If you have CFS or ME this is the book you absolutely must read. I have been suffering from CFS for over two years and I don t know where I would have been without this goldmine of information and guidance ; Applying the advice in this book is gradually changing my life and I can t recommend it highly enough to anyone else who suffers from this terrifying illness. Thank you Dr Myhill I will forever be in your debt. But in those two years both new research and new clinical findings have thrown further light onto a condition that for sufferers is life-stopping but for many doctors is all in the mind .
