Book Synopsis Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are serious, debilitating conditions that affect millions of people in the United States and around the world. ME/CFS can cause significant impairment and disability. Despite substantial efforts by researchers to better understand ME/CFS, there is no known cause or effective treatment. Diagnosing the disease remains a challenge, and patients often struggle with their illness for years before an identification is made. Some health care providers have been skeptical about the serious physiological - rather than psychological - nature of the illness. Once diagnosed, patients often complain of receiving hostility from their health care provider as well as being subjected to treatment strategies that exacerbate their symptoms. Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome proposes new diagnostic clinical criteria for ME/CFS and a new term for the illness - systemic exertion intolerance disease(SEID). According to this report, the term myalgic encephalomyelitis does not accurately describe this illness, and the term chronic fatigue syndrome can result in trivialization and stigmatization for patients afflicted with this illness. Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome stresses that SEID is a medical - not a psychiatric or psychological - illness. This report lists the major symptoms of SEID and recommends a diagnostic process.One of the report's most important conclusions is that a thorough history, physical examination, and targeted work-up are necessary and often sufficient for diagnosis. The new criteria will allow a large percentage of undiagnosed patients to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care. Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome will be a valuable resource to promote the prompt diagnosis of patients with this complex, multisystem, and often devastating disorder; enhance public understanding; and provide a firm foundation for future improvements in diagnosis and treatment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • Look for special features inside. Join the Random House Reader’s Circle for author chats and more. In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a teenager, he channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when World War II began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to a doomed flight on a May afternoon in 1943. When his Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, Zamperini survived, adrift on a foundering life raft. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will. Appearing in paperback for the first time—with twenty arresting new photos and an extensive Q&A with the author—Unbroken is an unforgettable testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit, brought vividly to life by Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand.

Book Synopsis Through the Fog by : Jason Bussanich
Download or read book Through the Fog written by Jason Bussanich and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-09-13 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome go off the mark by using the CFS label to describe hypothyroidism, Lyme's Disease, and other specific conditions. This book finally cuts through to focus on true ME/CFS, the kind that causes severe damage and disability. This book is for those with POTS, autonomic dysfunction, severe histamine intolerance, brain fog, and memory loss. Dr. Jason Bussanich understands, first hand, the disabling nature of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. As a sufferer of ME/CFS for about a decade, he has personally felt the migraines, brain damage, memory loss, and immune changes that plague people with this seemingly difficult to diagnose disease. Make no mistake, this is a serious disease with ever worsening consequences. Brain damage is a scary and life destroying consequence of real ME/CFS. This is not Lyme's Disease, and it is not a pathogen. Rather, it is a failure of the gut to keep in balance.Learn about the studies going back many years that had already begun to find abnormalities in the gut microbiome and the byproducts of fermentation. Understand why fermentation in the gut produces neurologically damaging chemicals that have a long history in the medical literature of causing encephalopathy. Discover that we already possess the tools to gain control.This book is truly ahead of its time, because while the research is showing solid evidence for the origin of the disease, no one has yet to take that information and convert it into a protocol sufferers can use today. By the time the brain damage is noticed, the body is already losing control of multiple systems, including the immune system. Dr. Bussanich helps us understand why the gut has to come first, and healing the nervous system, second. Using data collected from the most current studies, Dr. Bussanich committed himself to over eight years of self experimentation to determine what worked and what did not. He clearly lays out the published research and how it informed his choices, and why his own experiments should still be relevant to others with ME/CFS.Learn why the research will continue to show mixed results with interventional trials, because studies fail to use multiple tools to fix things. Success should not only be judged by removal of the insult, but also knowing what it takes to recover.Some day, we may very well have a cure for true ME/CFS that allows for a completely unaltered life style with infinite dietary choice. Until then, Dr. Bussanich offers his story of remission and a theory of disease that checks all the boxes.

Book Synopsis Lighting Up a Hidden World by : Valerie Free
Download or read book Lighting Up a Hidden World written by Valerie Free and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The onset can be fast and shocking or slow and insidious. It can happen to anyone at any age. A flu, a vaccination, or an infection can be the innocent beginnings to the potentially life-long and disabling illness called myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), which is more commonly known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or ME/CFS in North America. In the mid 1980s, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) was called in by concerned doctors who were witnessing an influx of patients with a mysterious illness. Eventually the CDC labeled the condition “chronic fatigue syndrome” which turned out to be very misleading. Decades later, in 2016, health agencies are finally beginning to agree with international experts that ME/CFS is a serious, chronic, multi-system illness. Through artwork, poetry, story-telling, and meticulous research, Lighting Up a Hidden World: CFS and ME takes readers into the fascinating, yet frightening, landscape of ME/CFS. Author Valerie Free shares her personal experiences and delivers illuminating first-hand perspectives from patients, caregivers, journalists, and medical professionals from within the global community in short easy-to-read segments. These stories reveal the disgrace, controversy, and tragedy of worldwide neglect by political and health care systems, leaving ME/CFS research underfunded and millions of people marginalized, sick, and socially unsupported. Lighting Up a Hidden World: CFS and ME advocates for those too ill to speak out, abounds with patient resources, and offers realistic hope for the future. People living with this illness, along with their family and friends, will find compassion and camaraderie in its pages. This book reaches beyond the ME/CFS community exposing the themes of human suffering, resilience, and the need for social change.

Book Synopsis Understanding and Treating Chronic Fatigue by : Joel L. Young
Download or read book Understanding and Treating Chronic Fatigue written by Joel L. Young and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-08-19 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some doctors still think Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a "fake" diagnosis. In this book, Joel Young, MD, presents the research, experience, and treatments that prove otherwise. Millions of Americans experience chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), a continuous exhaustion and a feeling comparable to that of having just run a marathon when all they have done is a daily living task, such as taking a shower or getting dressed. Doctors don't have tests for CFS, and some think it's a faux or psychological disorder. Joel Young, MD, in this heavily researched book, explains why it is a true physical illness and how it may be treated. He details how he successfully treats the symptoms, which can include severe fatigue, "brain fog," chronic pain, and sleep problems. Unlike doctors who recommend exercise, supplements, or opioid medications, Young integrates such options as long-acting stimulants, meditation, and dietary changes to reduce fatigue, as well as non-opioid drugs, medical marijuana, and self-help options including yoga for the associated chronic pain.

Download or read book Finding the Strength Within written by Debora K Toll, PH D and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-05 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ME/CFS is a chronic, invisible, debilitating, complex, multi-system disease that is often misunderstood. Worldwide, close to 20 million individuals have been diagnosed with ME/CFS but the number of people living with it, is believed to be much higher. ME/CFS may therefore, touch the lives of individuals who we may know and love. ME/CFS can relentlessly challenge individuals on their physical, cognitive and spiritual levels of being and can leave much devastation in its wake - personally, socially and economically. ME/CFS can also leave once vibrant and energetic individuals so debilitated that they are unable to function and participate in their lives. In its more moderate to severe disease state, ME/CFS can totally consume the patient's life. Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions about this disease and the people who struggle with it. It is not uncommon for others to question for example, whether ME/CFS is real or whether it is all in the patient's head. This book seeks to reduce some of these misconceptions by providing a roadmap to understanding this disease. It walks the reader through what ME/CFS is, its numerous and varied symptoms, its risk factors and possible causes, how it differs amongst patients, its many challenges and debilitating effects and finally, its varied patient outcomes, prognoses and treatments. The author candidly shares her experiences with this extremely challenging and life changing disease and discusses how she was able to find the strength within and move forward with her "new" life. The book is insightful and offers comfort and hope to individuals living with ME/CFS and other chronic, invisible and debilitating diseases.
Download or read book Cure written by Jo Marchant and published by Text Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rigorous, sceptical, deeply reported look at the new science behind the mind's extraordinary ability to heal the body. Have you ever felt a surge of adrenaline after narrowly avoiding an accident? Salivated at the sight (or thought) of a sour lemon? Felt turned on just from hearing your partner's voice? If so, then you've experienced how dramatically the workings of your mind can affect your body. Yet while we accept that stress or anxiety can damage our health, the idea of 'healing thoughts' was long ago hijacked by New Age gurus and spiritual healers. Recently, however, serious scientists from a range of fields have been uncovering evidence that our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs can ease pain, heal wounds, fend off infection and heart disease, even slow the progression of AIDS and some cancers. In Cure, award-winning science writer Jo Marchant travels the world to meet the physicians, patients and researchers on the cutting edge of this new world of medicine. We learn how meditation protects against depression and dementia, how social connections increase life expectancy, and how patients who feel cared for recover from surgery faster. We meet Iraq war veterans who are using a virtual arctic world to treat their burns and children whose ADHD is kept under control with half the normal dose of medication. We watch as a transplant patient uses the smell of lavender to calm his hostile immune system and an Olympic runner shaves vital seconds off his time through mind-power alone. Drawing on the very latest research, Marchant explores the vast potential of the mind's ability to heal, acknowledges its limitations, and explains how we can make use of the findings in our own lives. ‘A thought-provoking exploration of how the mind affects the body and can be harnessed to help treat physical illness, by an award-winning science journalist.’ Best Books of 2016, Australian Financial Review ‘A thought-provoking exploration.’ Best Books of 2016, Economist
