This book is a detailed explanation of the different symptoms that can be suffered when one has ME... The story is told by a mother (Molly) and her two children (Ellie and Eric)...She goes into some detail about the various symptoms that people with ME/CFG can have... The information is good, the black and white illustrations are helpful, and the list of organisations at the back of the book is extensive - it covers many countries. There is a list of acronyms which could prove very useful, and there is also advice for teachers who may have children with problems due to a parent's illness. This book will be very helpful to children and adults alike, and as children can also suffer from this debilitating disease, they will find the information useful too. An excellent introduction to the problems that ME/CFG can cause.
