You’ve been repeatedly poked, prodded, tested and scanned, yet, despite how awful you feel, your doctor, like many of your friends, co-workers, and family members have begun dropping subtle (and some not-so-subtle) hints that they think it’s “all in your head.” Maybe you’re one of the lucky few CFS sufferers who’ve received an accurate diagnosis but nothing your health care provider does seems to help. Well, you’re not alone. According to recent estimates, of the approximately 800,000 Americans with CFS, more than 90% have been misdiagnosed, dismissed, or are not receiving proper treatment. 
Don’t despair, help has arrived. Written by a national expert who has successfully treated scores of CFS patients in her own practice, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for Dummies gives you the knowledge and tools you need to beat CFS and get back to living a normal life. In plain English Doctor Susan Lisman fills you in on: <ul>
<li>What CFS is, how you get it, and how it effects your body </li> <li>Its major symptoms and warning signs</li> <li>Getting an accurate diagnosis</li> <li>Avoiding situations that might be making you sicker</li> <li>Teaming up with the right doctor and crafting a treatment plan</li> <li>The most effective drugs, therapies and alternative approaches</li> <li>Coping with CFS in your personal and professional lives</li> </ul>
Packed with checklists, self-tests, questionnaires, and other powerful tools, and featuring many inspiring real-life stories of patients who’ve licked CFS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for Dummies puts you on the road to recovery.

Everything You Need to Know about This Frequently Misdiagnosed Condition to Love Fearlessly, Work Confidently, and Live Your Best Life When Karla Dougherty was diagnosed with bipolar II, her world changed. Finally, after ten years of misdiagnoses and failed treatments for anxiety and depression, she was able to step out of her ''shadow life'' and find relief. Bipolar II is a form of bipolar disorder in which a person, when in a manic cycle, is crippled by constant anxiety, irritability, and highs just intense enough to be debilitating. Instead of being the life of the party, a person with bipolar II mania might be too nervous to go to the party at all. In a depressive cycle, the sufferer might be incapacitated by guilt over an imaginary crime. More than 9 million Americans are estimated to have this chronic mood disorder. Now, in Less Than Crazy: Living Fully with Bipolar II, Dougherty both shares her story and presents an empathetic guide to recognizing and living well with this often-misunderstood condition. Whether you have already been diagnosed or suspect you may have bipolar II, Less Than Crazy can help you find the courage and conviction to reclaim your life. Includes information on: The difference between bipolar I, bipolar II, and anxiety, Getting to - and getting past - a diagnosis, Overcoming hypomania and depression, Conditions that may mimic bipolar II, How bipolar II affects children, Finding the right medications, treatments, and therapies for you
