"If robbery is the taking without permission, CFS could be the greatest thief
of all." --David S.
Bell, MD
When describing how others deal and accept the realities of their illness, those
who cope with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and/or Fibromyalgia often express the
sentiment "unless they get it, they just won't get it."
As evidenced by the quote above, Dr. David S. Bell is somebody who does get
it! Dr. Bell, who is the author of
The Doctor's Guide to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Understanding, Treating, and
Living With CFIDS and
A Parent's Guide to CFIDS: How to Be an Advocate for Your Child With Chronic
Fatigue Immune Dysfunction understands Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. In his
Lyndonville, New York practice, he's treated more than 200 pediatric Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome patients. His book about that experience, Faces of CFS,
is now available as a free PDF download on his
Web site.
From insights like "[t]he fatigue of CFS is so different, it is off the
scale" stated in the book's introduction to the chapters that each deal with an
individual patient's story, Faces of CFS is like a breath of fresh air in
the all too often stifling skeptical climate that surrounds Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome. And now it's available for a price everyone can afford: Free!
###
Whether you refer to it as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Chronic Fatigue
Immune and Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS), or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), the
name alone cannot convey the devastation brought about by having to cope with
this condition. The "fatigue" in the name refers to much more than
just being tired. Those who suffer from this condition experience
a fatiguing condition similar to how one feels when you have the flu. Only with
the flu, you eventually get better. Imagine dealing with those muscle aches, the
weakness, headaches, and other symptoms on a daily basis and you know how
someone with CFS feels on a good day.

Exercise While Sitting Down (with the help of the
Bounce Back Chair)Because the
bounce back exercise chair increases the flow of lymphatic fluids throughout
the body by as much as 10 times their normal rate, it helps the body remove
toxins, strengthens the immune system, increases muscular strength, and improves
blood circulation. Also sometimes referred to as the Bounce Back Fitness Chair,
Bounce Back Exercise Chair, and Bounce-Back Chair.
