I'm one of the people with cfs that has been to all of the regular doctors who all seem to be in agreement that there is "nothing wrong with me". This couldn't be further from the truth. Anyway, I recently came across this book and I was wondering has anyone else had read it? It's on the website: howibeatcfs.com
