Severe ME/CFS: A Guide to Living

The cover of Severe ME/CFS: A Guide to Living

AYME is very proud to be publishing a major new resource for patients (of all ages) who are facing severe ME as well as the loved ones and professionals providing their support and care. Severe ME/CFS: A Guide to Living by former AYMEr Emily Collingridge is the first definitive reference book written specifically to help those who are predominantly bedridden and in need of considerable care.

"A book no severe ME sufferer should be without" Frances Goodchild, patient

"An absolute 'must-read'... It could literally change your life" Chris B, carer

"An invaluable source of information and guidance for all health professionals... The practical, understanding advice is exceptional" Gill Walsh, specialist nurse

"This book has the potential to be very important" Prof Ingvar Bjarnason, consultant physician

Emily has over twelve years personal experience of severe ME and has worked in consultation with over thirty patients, carers, friends, relatives and health professionals to produce a book which addresses almost every conceivable area of life with severe ME and offers specific help for carers, partners, siblings, parents, grandparents, friends, doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, dietitians, speech language therapists, psychologists, social workers and home tutors.

Severe ME/CFS: A Guide to Living, which is A4 in size and contains over 130 jam packed pages, is being sold at cost for the bargain price of £5.99 including p&p to enable multiple copy purchase. And AYME SAMs can get their first copy half price!
