Synopsis

Millions of people suffer from invisible chronic illness, that is, disease characterized by chronicity and by symptoms that are not externally apparent. Sufferers may look well and even function normally while suffering extreme fatigue or pain or any number of distressing symptoms from such illnesses as MS, ME, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine or Crohn's disease. This book describes the anguish that these individuals endure and then offers the means to cope with their illness. It teaches them how to become more aware of the attitude they have towards the illness and how they can communicate with loved ones and doctors in a way that meets their needs. For sufferers and their spouses, relatives, friends, employers and doctors, this book offers both understanding and practical guidance.
