Editorial Reviews

There is simply no other treatment guide on the market that is presented with such expansive coverage, making this a 'must' for any health collection and for any reader concerned with understanding the extent of CFS.

Midwest Book Review - Diane Donovan

I highly recommend "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Treatment Guide, 2nd Edition" by Erica F. Verrillo for people who have this disorder and their family members or caretakers. Medical professionals will also find this as a useful resource in identifying symptoms and developing treatments for the disorder."

Reader Views - Paige Lovitt

Too often, doctors focus on specific symptoms or illnesses and fail to look at how these might be related to each other. Verrillo enlightened me on the ways conditions like hypothyroidism and tinnitus, for instance, may cluster under the umbrella of auto-immune disorders like CFS. I was especially gratified by the sections addressing the medical mechanisms behind exercise-intolerance, a problem I have never been able to understand before.
