Wilted Flowers: A Survivor's Guide to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Do you have, or know someone with, no energy? Do the symptoms and the variety of complaints confuse you? You are not alone; when I faced that situation, there were more questions than answers. This book attempts to provide some common-sense suggestions and approaches. Life with Chronic Fatigue is possible, just not easy or convenient. Don't expect a medical treatise on the diagnosis; it wasn't written by a doctor. But do expect down-to-earth pointers and definitions for the lay person. If you don't want to be overwhelmed and still want enough to think over, this might be your book. A condition like this really is best explained by someone that has it.

The author was diagnosed in 1997 and, through trial and error, struggled for stability and quality in his life. Quality medical care has made a huge difference, but I still miss a normal life. And for those thinking I have a firm grasp on my illness, patience is still a huge struggle for me when I have setbacks. Yes, there always seem to be unexpected setbacks. Above all, I have learned to endure.
