Book Description
Hope and Help for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia is designed to educate patients suffering from CFS/FM about their illnesses and to teach them coping skills that will improve their quality of life. And while the good news is that people who suffer from CFS/FM aren't dying, the bad news is that it's going to take a lot of time and effort to get better since there is no one specific treatment that works for everyone. Some of the issues covered are: Understanding the symptoms and how diagnoses are made Causes of CFS/FM and common psychological consequences, including anxiety and depression The role of stress and how to manage it The connection between the mind and the body in coping with CFS/FM The potential of medications, nutrition, and lifestyle changes The role of complementary medications and dietary supplements in pain management The value and limitations of alternative and complementary therapies such as acupuncture, massage, homeopathy, and aromatherapy Legal issues about how to deal with medical and legal problems that may arise if insurance benefits have been stopped

Book Description
Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome (CFIDS) is not the 'Yuppie flu.' It is a debilitating, incurable illness that hijacks the body's immune system and drains the life out of its victims, often leaving them incapacitated for years. While researchers around the globe explore the causes of treatments for CFIDS, the men, women and children who suffer with the illness grapple with questions like: -Will I ever be normal again? -Of what value am I now that I can't work or go to school anymore? -How will CFIDS affect my marriage and my family? How will CFIDS affect my ability even to consider marriage or having children? -How do I glorify God in the midst of a debilitating illness and pain? Lynn Vanderzalm and her teenage daughter, Alisa, have battled CFIDS for over seven years. In Finding Strength in Weakness, Vanderzalm shares her family's struggles and questions-along with those of 70 other men, women, and children-while offering direction, encouragement, and hope to the countless families who battle with the 'mystery illness of the nineties.'
