Emily Collingridge has written a new CFS ME (CFSME) or ME/CFS book, entitled Severe ME/CFS: A Guide to Living, which is acclaimed to be the first definitive reference book written specifically to help those people suffering with ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis). If is written about and to those individuals who are predominantly bedridden and in need of considerable care. If you are severely ill or your caregiver needs additional information, I would recommend you get a copy of this book.
Writing this work surely had to be a miraculous accomplishment for Emily Collingridge because she was so drastically ill for so long. She fell sick when she was 6 years old and that was 22 years ago!

here, at the Association of Young People with ME.
Emily Collingridge, from London, learned the hard way. She became ill 22 years ago, at the age
of 6. She has now had severe ME/CFS for 12 years. At her worst she was blind, mute, doubly incontinent, tube fed and unable to move at all. Rare complications brought her close to death. Desperate to make severe ME/CFS a less traumatic experience for others, Emily has spent the last two years researching and writing Severe ME/CFS: A Guide to Living.
By all accounts, Emily Collingridge is an extraordinary young woman. I encourage you to order the book directly from the website. Here are comments I received via email as to them being able to ship the book overseas.
The guide has been written for UK patients, however it does include valuable information for all patients. We will however have to include postage (airmail) which will be added to the cost (£5.99) for the booklet for all overseas orders.
They provide an order form that you can print out, if you like.
You decide about the value of this book in your efforts to understand CFSME. I suspect it offers quite a bit of new information about the illness. Plus, it could be the perfect gift for the caregiver in your life. There never seem be enough good words of praise and gratitude to offer a true caregiver.
To all those suffering with CFSME or MECFS (whatever term you choose),
To your health, help, information, happiness and comfort,
I’m Cinda Crawford, your host of the Health Matters Show
