"As someone who has lived with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME for over 15 years, I found Frankie Campling and Michael Sharpes's book 'Living with a long term illness: the facts' both informative and practical. However their greatest achievement is that I found it comforting - like having a sensible and kind friend to provide reassurance and support.

Sound advice, simply explained

After living for many years with M.E. I found I often 'clicked' with subjects covered in the book, yet still found plenty of new ideas. Some of these I've already found useful.

I found the book sensitively written. The authors clearly understand the problems of coping with long-term illness and the writing style is encouraging and supportive. I liked the way that subjects were covered with enough detail without getting long-winded. Really easy to read.
Self-help at its best

I stumbled across this book and, as someone who works with people with long-term conditions, I am very pleased that I did. 30 chapters in less than 200 pages means that it covers a lot without being long-winded. I cannot think of anything that is not covered and every chapter gives pointers towards further resources. While there will be chapters that do not apply to all of the people all of the time, I am sure that anyone who is living with a long-term illness will find chapters that are useful to them.

The book is the result of a collaboration between a person with a long-term illness (Frankie Campling) and a doctor / academic (Michael Sharpe). It reflects the teamwork that is needed if people with long-term illnesses are to maintain / improve their health and quality of life. I would strongly recommend this book to all health professionals who work in this vast and important field.
An excellent and long awaited "toolkit"

This book is necessary reading for anyone diagnosed with chronic illness and their family / carers. It gives the reader honest personal accounts of the problems encountered when living with chronic illness as well as sensible, structured strategies to help all those involved maintain a healthy approach to their lives. The chapter on the relationship between the patient and their doctor is particularly insightful.The co-writers offer the reader comprhensive discussion and advice from both the personal and medical angle increasing the knowledge and understanding of the demands chronic illness places on the individual and all those involved in their care. An excellent and long awaited "toolkit"
