Over het boek
This book contains information about over 250 medications that can be used
to treat chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME)
and fibromyalgia. It is useful for both the patient and their
doctor. All latest research breakthroughs are covered, including
controversial theories. There are treatments for every symptom and
comorbidity, but most address more than just a single symptom. Some
treatments can even affect the actual disease process. No matter how
severe your illness is, what symptoms you have and how sensitive you
are to medications, you can most likely get better.
For every featured drug possible side effects, contraindications and drug
interactions are listed. One of the appendices is also dedicated to
drug interactions and how to avoid them. The other two appendices
cover the possible consequences of surgery and vaccinations for
people with CFS/ME and fibromyalgia. There is a glossary and index
for ease of use. The book will help you understand your illness and
how medications really work. It also contains invaluable information for doctors.
This book can also be very useful for people with e.g. restless legs,
migraine, multiple chemical sensitivity, chronic pain, IBS and
autoimmune diseases, even if they do not suffer from CFS/ME or fibromyalgia.
Een persoonlijke toelichting
van de auteur n.a.v. een kritische vraag van mijn kant (via e-mail):
I can assure you that this is not a fad book that promotes miracle cures or talks
about going from "fatigued from fantastic." It's all about science
and the experiences of prominent CFS/ME/FM experts like Paul Cheney,
Jay Goldstein and Richard Podell, about CFS/ME and fibromyalgia as
severe neurological illnesses. There are over 1,000 references.
The book does not promote any particular theory about the origins of
CFS/ME, though all the major theories (like enteroviruses,
herpesviruses, mycoplasma, "NO/ONOO" etc) are included.
