My Battle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Book) - 2/25/2018 2:34:38 AM
I had expected a longer book, but I enjoyed this little book. The author does a fantastic job of describing Chronic Fatigue and how it affected her life. I could relate to her feelings of loneliness, as I have some chronic health issues as well and have experienced losing friends over the years.
It's wonderful that church helped the author. I would have liked it if she had gone into more detail about how her recovery process worked.

Whatever it's caused by it's awful. I have an acquaintance who suffers with it. And you're right; forming an opinion about something you haven't experienced firsthand is an intellectualization and often an offense to the one suffering. You laid open your heart here. Kudos!

I've taken vitamins and eaten right all of my life. Sometimes people just get things. Not only that but researchers are finding CFS is caused by damaged mitochondria and damaged DNA which is genetic material found in the nuclei of cells. They have also discovered there are differences in the brain of CFS patients, meaning these diseases people think are, "all in our heads," are just that. They are not cured by vitamins either, although it is a good thing to take them. They are not an insurance policy for all of us. They weren't for me. People don't get that. I would like to share the link to the CFS Organization who does so much good for us. There is a lot of good information on there, including research information so people will be more knowledgable about the disease and they can better discuss it.Hopefully, people will not be so judgemental then.
solvecfs.org. Have a great day.
