Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - your questions answered
Dr. John Campling and Mrs Frankie Campling

A guide for newly diagnosed patients, their families and friends, this little booklet contains information about Post Viral Syndrome - ME and gives advice on how to cope with the condition. The authors have taken the questions most frequently asked and have tried to give the best possible answers. The book has been endorsed by Professor Leslie Turnberg, past president of the Royal College of Physicians.

This would be a good booklet to recommend to patients who are frustrated by their lack of progress and want to make sure they are doing everything possible.
