If you are a young person who has just been diagnosed with ME or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (that’s CFS), and even if you’ve had this condition for a while, you will find a sympathetic voice in this book.

The book is full of great suggestions for managing everyday tasks and working through the ups and downs of the illness, and there are lots of tips on how to create the best chance of recovery.
