About this ebook
A guide to recovery from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) - a disease that has generally been regarded as incurable, this book is written by a recovered ME/CFS sufferer, whose own experience of near death to near normality gives hope to others who have suffered from this debilitating illness, and perhaps despaired of ever living a normal life again.
The author, who has a degree in Chemistry, and a background in Medical Research, Nutritional Diseases and Hazardous Substance management, provides the reader with thoroughly researched practical means and methods that she herself found successfully led to her recovery.

PREFACE
On the night of 17 July 2013, I went to bed extremely tired after a long hard day and woke up the next morning barely able to get out of bed.
Over the next few weeks, I developed a multitude of problems. Sometimes I thought I had pneumonia or bronchitis, sometimes I thought it was some kind of sudden heart condition but the symptoms were so varied and varying that no explanation made sense.
I am a scientist by training with an Honours degree in chemistry and I have had experience in numerous fields such as medical research, food science, and hazardous substance management. I also have many insights that I have gained from working with numerous authors in a wide variety of disciplines, but when I was hit by this strange problem I was flummoxed. I could not seem to get well no matter what I did. That is when I took a shot in the dark and listed my symptoms – about 20 of them – and copied and pasted them into Google without much hope that the disparate collection of words could make sense to someone.
I was amazed to discover that every single result showed the same thing. That weird collection of facts yielded Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) in all the posts. When I clicked on one of them and read the article, the description was unmistakeable: (unremitting exhaustion, pain, sleeplessness, feeling as if I had a bad flu, pneumonia and bronchitis all rolled into one, brain fog, difficulty standing up, and a whole gamut of the other symptoms)
I no longer remember the next few days but I was desperate for some guidance on recovery. There did not seem to be any reports of recovery. It appeared to be generally accepted that this condition was what it was labelled: chronic. Irreversible? Incurable? Surely not. That is when I prayed for help. I still have a lot of life ahead of me, I thought. This cannot be.
One afternoon, after a particularly bad day, I was browsing again on the topic and found a doctor in the UK had published a book on ME / CFS. Moreover, unlike everything else I had ploughed through, it described not only symptoms and some technical stuff but how to recover! The book just happened to be available that day as a pdf download. I downloaded it immediately and started reading. As many CFS sufferers can
