Reader Reviews
Although there is some general advice of value in this book, like many other books on mere tiredness or undifferentiated fatigue, it has no relationship to the specific profound postexertionalfatigue of the neuroimmune brain disorder of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) WHO ICD-10 G93.3 page 494. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is an incurable, incapacitating, multisystem chronic illness entirely unrelated to the tiredness of a busy life. Biomedical research studies on patients with this neuroimmune disorder show that the recovery rate for patients medically diagnosed with this nonpsychiatric neurological disorder is four percent. Doctors treating patients medically diagnosed with CFS describe them are more funtionally ill than cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, patients with HIV, Type 2 diabetes and another neurological disorder MS. Medically documented abnormalities are found in the brain, the heart and circulatory systems of patients Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. On the other hand, undifferentiated chronic fatigue is just one symptom in many severe and not so severe diseases. It is entirely unrelated to the specific postexertional fatigue unrelieved by rest that is merely one part of the complex and unique pattern of signs and symptoms found in the neuroimmune disorder chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Patients experiencing profound exhaustion of new onset, exacerbated by activity, unrelieved by rest, with sore throat, memory and concentration problems, unrefreshing sleep, enlarged lymph glands, etc. should see a qualified medical physician.
