Living With Me

Living With Me by Shepherd, Charles. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780091816797.

Although not a new disease, M.E. is at last being recognised and taken seriously. M.E. is short for myalgic encephalomyelitis; a term which refers to the parts of the body affected: myalgic, the muscles; encephalo, the brain: and myselitis, the nerves. Until recently, many of the people suffering from M.E. had great difficulty in diagnosing and finding a way to deal effectively with the disease. Now fully updated, this comprehensive guide provides much-needed information about M.E. It describes the symptoms, what triggers it and who can get it and also discusses additional problems such as disordered sleep, depression, pain in the joints and difficulties with eyes, ears, and balance. This is THE book for any sufferer who wants information, not speculation.
