Customer Reviews

Good reading.

Its an honest insight of someone's experience not only with FMS/CFS but with other conditions. The author endures many ups & downs & its a ride you wont forget.

Highly recommended

This book is explains CFS to those of us with friends struggling with this illness. Stephanie's descriptions are so real that I almost felt as if I knew her. I truly felt as if I understood this illness in a personal way and I never realized previously what a huge impact this can have on someone's life. I would recommend this book to anyone who has this illness, and especially to friends and family of people with CFS.

Mom of a CFS victim

This book has helped me understand the frustration, pain and lonliness my daughter has suffered! What insight into a world those around these victims rarely see. Thank you, Stephanie, for sharing your life with this disease to help others and their families.

If you would just get out of bed

If you are the parent, relative, or friend of a person diagnosed with chronic fatique, you need to read this book to understand what frustration and depression this person is going through. This illness is difficult to accept because the person doesn't appear sick -- just lazy. If only that were the case........

FINALLY...Someone understands me!!!!

I was so thrilled to see that someone with such a debilitating disease could actually have the fortitude to write about her story. I could relate to much of Stephanie's life and felt the same feelings of guilt and shame that she went through. Thank you for finally having a book about what it is like to actually suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome!
