{"product_id":"9781922219619","title":"My Teenage Son Had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome : A Mother's Tale of ME\/CFS","description":"\"I feel tired Mum... really tired. I have a headache and I feel sick to my stomach.\" These simple words were the beginning of our five years of hell. This book has been written for you: parents, siblings, grandparents, friends and carers of loved-ones with the debilitating condition, myalgic encephalomyelitis\/chronic fatigue syndrome. It sets out, in a very detailed and personal way, everything David and his mother endured during the years of his illness: endless tests, doctors, therapists, medications, alternative treatments;significant school issues, the loss of friends and social-standing and (the most soul-destroying aspect of all) the pervading disbelief that he was genuinely ill. It is a story of a mother's determination to do what was right for her son. \"When reading Darcy's review of David's illness, I am struck by the enormity of her effort. I am sure her clear and rational description, from a mother's perspective, will be a great comfort to many people.\" Dr. George Quittner MBBS (Syd)","brand":"Darien Estates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151532998896,"sku":"9781922219619","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781922219619_p0.jpg?v=1763633793","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781922219619","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
