A Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Caregiver's Guide to Hope; Take Positive Action Now

A CFS caregiver reveals how to get the support you want and need for this misunderstood and forgotten illness.

Dear Loving Caregiver;

As you know, for anyone dealing with this sickness, common experiences include being

  • fed up with feeling alone, demeaned – and even invisible - because people just don’t know (or seem to care) what CFS-CFIDS-M.E. is doing to you and your loved one
  • tired of feeling stuck and lonely as a CFS-CFIDS-M.E. caregiver – and that even your loved one doesn’t understand?
  • In a constant struggle to explain the confusing CFS-CFIDS-M.E. symptoms

Frequently, a loved one’s symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome make Caregivers feel chronically overwhelmed, exhausted, lonely and frustrated from too little support.

If you can identify with any or all of these experiences or feelings, this could be the most important letter you ever read! Let me tell you why.

Ann Corcoran, Author of a A Chronic Fatigue Syndrom's Caregivers Guide to Hope
Ann Corcoran, CFIDS Caregiver

Hello - my name is Ann Corcoran, and I’ve been taking care of my older brother for 7 years. He has been severely disabled from the sickness of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/CFIDS/ME) for 20 years.

I have devoted my life and career to helping the disadvantaged and disabled. During this time, while married to a wonderful, physically disabled man for 30 years, I earned a Masters of Science degree in Special Education, and trained others to teach and become advocates for physically and mentally disabled children.

I specialized in analyzing what it takes for a person to learn and accomplish something and in teaching them, step by step, how to learn and get something finished.

 And yet…

My brother’s Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
had me stumped!

Here’s why:

Many years ago, when I picked up my brother from the airport after not having seen him in years, I was shocked. This was not the smart, funny, high energy guy I remembered growing up with.

Sure, he’d tried to explain his illness – but I just didn’t understand what he had gone through until I began to live, face-to-face, with CFS every day, like you do.

I’d worked with disabled people, but Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was completely different!

Pretty soon I discovered that dealing with my own sibling’s chronic illness made me tired – and I felt resentful and guilty.

Does this sound familiar?

When some of my brother’s symptom’s weren’t so bad and he felt able to speak, he explained why Chronic Fatigue Syndrome was more than just chronic “fatigue”.

This was severe fatigue, worse than any “tired” I’d ever seen – and it lasted for weeks. Sometimes, for days and days, he couldn’t get out of bed at all. Because he was also suffering from chronic muscle pain, chronic headaches, chronic everything!!

He also had chronic cognitive skills impairment.

It was so sad.

In his 40s, he was a highly successful Sales and Marketing Executive who put together - and won - multi-million dollar sales.

Now he was destitute, homeless, and couldn’t think his way out of a paper bag.

And yet, sometimes we had so much fun, I forgot he was sick – until a few hours later when he was sick AGAIN!!

“How could that be?”

I couldn’t understand it…How could he be okay one day and then sick for a whole week!

My friends did not believe me and told me my brother was lazy and if he just stopped acting like a victim, he’d be okay!

I felt sick at heart and so alone …

Dealing with CFS was driving me crazy.

Yes, I knew my brother was sick, but still resented that he was in bed when I left and still in bed when I got home -- when I had to go to work all day.

His short term memory loss made him put things away in odd places and then he couldn’t remember where he had put them!

My house was a confusing mess. I felt angry…and then I felt guilty.

Our relatives lived far away and they didn’t understand anything about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms. As a sibling of CFS, I felt totally and utterly alone.

I learned that in families when one sibling is chronically impaired, this can be common.

Sibling support for chronic illness – any chronic illness - can be rare.

Nobody I knew had ever heard of this “chronic fatigue stuff”. Even my own doctor pooh-poohed the whole idea of CFS.

He told me, “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is just an excuse!” He said that CFS “didn’t exist!“

Other doctors told me there was no cure for chronic fatigue - as if my brother wasn’t also suffering from so many other symptoms at the same time!

CFS was turning my life upside down!

………CFS is Such HARD Work!

 “People who climb Everest report they have to focus on one step at a time. Two would be too overwhelming. You gather all your strength to make one step. Then you gather all your strength to make the next. You can't even think about the summit. It’s just slog. This is how the activities of daily living often are for me. “

 “Here’s what I have to think through when cooking the evening meal. I have to walk across the kitchen. Then I have to turn on the oven. Then I have to walk to the fridge and get out the meat ... then I have to open the cupboard, get out the flour jar, then open it, then open the drawer and get out a spoon ... it's awful !!!

 "Planning each step of something that used to be routine is awful.”

 From a CFS-CFIDS-M.E. Victim

The doctors couldn’t help - especially since the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome isn’t known. They didn’t know about chronic fatigue syndrome drugs, and their training led them away from recommending any alternative therapies for anything.

Stunned by my own strong emotions, I stayed up for hours late at night searching for information. What really was the name of this illness, anyhow?

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome?

And why was it sometimes called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis – who could even SAY THAT?! And all those initials – M.E., CFIDS, CFS!

My head was spinning with so many confusing names – for ONE SICKNESS!

This Whole Thing Felt Like A
Big Fat Chronic Headache!

I couldn’t believe that my life had changed so much. I wanted to help my brother, but felt so burdened -- and guilty about how I felt!

I remember the jokes people used make about this “yuppie flu’ and “chronic fatigue syndrome”.

“I work so hard that I’ve always got “chronic fatigue!” they would joke…

Truth to tell, I had said those things myself.
I felt guilty, tortured, angry, and tired.

I had NO idea where to turn for help!

 "The CFS caregivers are the other side of the CFS equation. Often times they are what makes life endurable for CFS patients. Their lot, however, is not an easy one. Ann Corcoran, a CFS caregiver herself, has done a valuable job in putting together a guide that will help CFS caregivers negotiate the pitfalls which they often face."

Cort Johnson, Editor, CFS-Phoenix website and CFS sufferer.
San Diego, California and Las Vegas, Nevada USA

It took a lot of time and research, but FINALLY, I learned where to get support.

I learned the reasons that some people prefer one name over another – but that we were talking about the same sickness my brother has. I mostly use CFIDS and CFS, while people who live outside of the U.S. favor M.E.

I learned that even though there isn’t a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome cure, there are support groups and associations, there ARE alternative treatments for CFS-CFIDS-M.E.

I learned the right words to use -- how to be a good advocate for my brother -- and I took him to one of the USA’s top doctors for Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome.

I got him help. He’s still got CFIDS, but now he has a happier life.

And so do I.

And, MOST IMPORTANTLY, I learned how to talk with my brother so we could both say – in a healthy way – how we felt.

Our family began to understand – unbelievable loving support!

Listen…I’m not saying life is now peaches and cream.

Sure, my brother’s CFIDS still doesn’t have a cure, and it still knocks him down. He and I still have all our feelings – and we both pray for CFIDS to go away forever.

And sure, my own life has changed, but it’s somehow even better, now that we’ve found coping skills for this chronic illness.

We’re closer – to each other and to our friends and family. My co-workers and boss understand when I’m tired or showing my feelings.

We have help, understanding, and support. It’s not always easy, but we’ve found ways to bring more joy, more love, and more hope to our lives.

Suddenly, I realized something…

It’s not right for me to keep this information about CFS to myself – because YOU deserve help for your loved one and hope and relief for yourself. YOU deserve to enjoy life, too!

Here’s the little story of what actually happened to change my circumstances:

After about two or three weeks of my brother’s feeling too sick to go out, he was finally feeling okay enough to get out of the house. We were slowly walking across a parking lot to hear some folk music.

Something you should know about my brother is that he is known to all as a bright, funny, articulate guy with a terrific interest in folk music and musicians. In fact, he’s a musician himself, who at one time had a very successful career in computer sales and marketing.

For me, someone who now understands his illness, his seeming to “fall off the face of the earth” for months at a time – for no apparent reason at all – makes sense. But, for many others, you can understand why it is mostly quite puzzling.

Well, on this day when we were out, we bumped into an old friend of his, who exclaimed, “Hey – I haven’t seen you in a while!” upon seeing my brother.

Who responded, “Yeah, haven’t been able to get out. I’ve been laid up with this sickness I have – chronic fatigue syndrome.”

Friend: “Yeah, fatigue – don’t I know it!”

Me (muttering under my breath to brother): “No, he doesn’t know, he doesn’t know.”

My brother, to me, under his breath: “No, he doesn’t know. It’s CFIDS. How could he?”

I knew, of course. And my brother knew – and YOU know - But Peter, our friend, THOUGHT he knew. AND MOST people think they know – but most people still don’t!

And you want and need them to know.

Well, later I took his friend aside and told him what Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is like - really like.

That week, that same musician friend called my brother to ask how he was. My brother could barely lift the phone, but boy, did his spirits rise! Someone actually CARED!

Now, my brother feels understood, KNOWN – and this friend greets him extra warmly, helps him get a chair when my brother can come to a standing-room-only event. Now, I’m not the only one looking out for my brother at concerts and get-togethers now. Now, when my brother can’t come to an event, other friends call or email him to see how he is. Life has gotten to be more fun for my brother and me now.

And I realized…. Maybe YOU want to know how to explain CFS better.

That’s when I decided I HAD to share what I’ve learned with you and with others who are dealing with these kinds of experiences….

Here’s a secret. I didn’t start out to write a book. I just knew I needed help to understand my brother’s CFS and to get help for him and myself. So I scoured the internet and bookstores. It was so confusing! Where should I start? Who could I trust? In fact, I was searching for a concise guide for CFS-CFIDS-ME caregivers – for me to use!

That is why I decided to write this Guide for you – to save you the hours of time that I’ve already spent, to help you find the information that will help YOU, to put trustworthy information and resources right at your fingertips, to give you real-life examples of what my brother and I go through to help you explain CFS when you want to – to encourage you that There Is Hope, and to guide you so you can make your own good choices about how to help your loved one and yourself….

Because I Know What You’re Going Through!

CFS-CFIDS-ME closes you off from the very people you most need. So you can’t socialize the way you used to.

The nature and history of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome illness makes this happen.

Before you go any further, here’s what you must realize:

Socializing is a MUST if you want to become hopeful --- because hopefulness is the KEY to a Happier Life!

You want to help your loved one – and you need and deserve help, yourself, from people who understand what you’re going through.

But , when people don’t understand CFIDS…

  • They think it’s not a real illness! So….
  • They don’t see how CFIDS affects you , so they think it’s not real. And then….
  • They don’t see how CFIDS affects your loved one, so they think it’s not real.
  • They don’t understand that you and your loved one can’t socialize the way you used to.
  • If you and your loved one are not able to socialize, people don’t understand what you’re going through.
  • They don’t SEE that you’re tired and need help, so they don’t offer.
  • And then you are stuck in an endless cycle of loneliness, overwork and feeling worn-out.

 "Ann has written what many CFS/CFIDS/ME sufferers would write if they only could. She really *does* understand what it's like to have this crazy illness."

 "Anyone who cares for, or about, someone with CFS/CFIDS/ME will find The CFS Caregiver’s Guide to Hope enormously helpful, validating and informative."

"Reading A Caregiver’s Guide to CFS brought up memories, the emotions tied to them, and of my personal plight with Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome ( CFIDS).

Her candid descriptions of her brother’s struggle with his

I was cured by an alternative treatment, but I wish he and I had this book to turn to when I was ill. I know it would have helped us communicate our feelings in a more productive way."

Cheryl O’Donnell, Nutritionist and former PWC (Person With CFIDS)

My friend, you take this illness very, very SERIOUSLY. As a caregiver, you want to help your loved one. Maybe now and then you wish you didn’t have to know so much about this illness….

You want to ease your loved one’s suffering - You want to shout out loud…

“CFIDS is a Thief! CFIDS steals Life!”

The very sad truth is …

  • CFS-CFIDS-M.E. victims can die from this illness. Such suffering, such pain, what heartbreak…
  • CFS-CFIDS-M.E. is a serious illness that destroys dreams and wrecks many lives.
  • CFS-CFIDS-M.E. sometimes makes your loved one feel “doomed to live”. Even if a loved one recovers enough to work part-time again, he might have to spend every holiday and all weekend in bed so he’ll be able to be back at work again on Monday.

Now let me ask you an awkward question. As a caregiver, do you sometimes feel “doomed” too? No wonder. You keep on giving and giving out of love. The amazing thing about you is even when you feel like giving up, you keep on giving.

The world doesn’t know this about you
or your loved one.

"When I met Ann and her brother Ed two years ago, I quickly became friends with these smart, witty and caring people. I knew Ed had this sickness called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome -- but I didn’t know what it was like. I knew that Ed took a lot of naps during the day – but I thought that was normal for a guy with heart problems who was 12 years older than me."

 "But Ann’s book gave me a totally new view of Ed. I had only seen him on his “good days”. Until I read “The CFS Caregiver’s Guide to Hope”, I had NO idea that CFIDS could shut down Ed’s life without warning! Now I know. I have great respect for their courage and clever ways of living with CFIDS."

 "This book taught me how to be a better friend to Ed and to his sister. Everyone needs to know how to help out with CFIDS. We don’t know who else in our lives might have this “invisible” sickness."

Jim Beck, musician
Connecticut , USA

What’s also amazing is that

Most CFIDS Caregivers Also Want To Help End All CFIDS Suffering

You, your loved one, and every other CFIDS victim deserves respect and compassion as you cope with this affliction.

True story: Radio talk show host interviewed a famous American football player. Football player changed the subject, to talk about a cause that he and his wife support – help for persons with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The football player said that his wife has a relatively mild case, not too many symptoms. He said, “But the fatigue! It’s AWFUL. With MS, your symptoms come, sometimes they go – and sometimes you wake up and each part of your body feels like it weighs 2,000 pounds. You just can’t move. It’s a disease of the central nervous system.”

This radio interviewer was completely respectful. He said, “Oh, Multiple Sclerosis sounds extremely difficult! MS is a terrible disease and you and your wife are doing a wonderful job to help raise funds to combat MS.”

This radio interviewer didn’t need to ask a zillion questions. He didn’t ask, “MS? What’s that?!” He never said, “Your wife has fatigue? Well, why doesn’t she sleep more or get more exercise?” He already knows that Multiple Sclerosis is serious. He treated Multiple Sclerosis seriously - with the respect any serious illness deserves. So he treated the football player very respectfully.

You deserve that SAME respect -
and
SO does your loved one!

CFS-CFIDS-M.E. isn’t widely respected yet, because the world doesn’t know what you and I know:

1. CFS-CFIDS-M.E. is serious.

2. CFS-CFIDS-M.E.victims are being treated like second-class citizens.

3. And so are YOU, the caregiver.

 What If You could Help Get Rid of the Ignorance and Prejudice? And…

What if CFIDS/CFS/M.E.’s symptoms became well-recognized - no matter WHAT it was called:

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
or
Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome
or
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis!

Try to imagine how good you will feel….

Take a deep breath, sit back… let your mind drift …to the future…to a better place and time…

In your imagination…you feel so good because…

You hear a movie star or sports star being interviewed. The interviewer asks, “Tell us about this upcoming charitable event that you are running to raise money for CFS. Some people believe that it should be called ‘Myalgic Encephalomyelitis’. Can you tell us a little about that?”

Then, what if the movie or sports star says: “My friends and I are raising money for research to help the thousands and thousands of people all over the world who suffer from CFS – including children, teenagers, and people like my husband who are in the prime of life. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a terrible sickness and we want to find a cure.”

Now, in your mind’s eye, imagine that the interviewer asks: “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome – Myalgic Encephalomyelitis - is a great cause, and we should all be aware of how CFS ravages its victims’ lives. How can our listeners help and find out some more?”

Imagine how happy you’ll be when you don’t have to struggle to explain what CFS-CFIDS-M.E. is like!

Stay here in this future, and enjoy all the good things you are discovering….

You mention your loved one’s CFS at work. Later, your boss tells you, “I know what CFIDS is like. There’s no problem using your sick days to take a break for yourself; I can understand why you need it.”

Your club or church tells you that you don’t have to fix dinner on Wednesday nights anymore. They’re going to bring dinner over, enough for plenty of leftovers

Your neighbor says, “I saw a TV show about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Isn’t that what your wife has? I didn’t understand what both of you have been going through! How can I help?”

You mention your daughter’s CFIDS and your work group holds a raffle to raise money for CFIDS research - with a good percentage going for YOUR daughter’s care.

Your town librarian goes online and prints out CFIDS information – and makes a display of books about CFIDS so the town can learn about CFIDS.

Hospitals in your area hold a regional symposium on CFIDS.

…Healthy children sell lemonade to benefit CFS victims

...Every family doctor knows about CFIDS – and knows some top CFIDS specialists to recommend

A TV telethon for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is a regular occurance

A Walk-a-thon for CFIDS/CFS/M.E. happens at least twice a year

…Every teenager who has CFIDS/CFS/M.E. has friends who think he’s cool - call his cell phone, “message” him, invite him out and visit him

Every child with CFIDS gets diagnosed and immediately gets help,

…Every college age child with CFS has treatments that workso he can graduate from college

…Your loved one gets treatments that works so that she/he has the ability to go back to their job

Your standard of living increases because of additional income

…Hospitals and care facilities offer respite programs for CFS caregivers.

…Billboards and other media display information about Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Your city government declares May as “CFIDS Awareness” month

 …Grocery stores run charitable, “give-a-dollar” campaigns for CFS/CFIDS/M.E., just as they do for other chronic illnesses

… You mention CFIDs and you don’t get a single blank stare

…Your loved one has a treatment that always works. Always.

You receive enough help so you can relax

What if you could take just one simple step to make that world come closer to getting the help that you and your loved one needs and deserves?

Yes – I want to take this step – Send me your book!

If you can, stay in this possibility that’s so much easier…

Imagine how strong you feel as you…

Ø      easily describe CFS/CFIDS/ME, so that relatives, friends and co-workers react with the same respect that they give to M.S., or Cancer, or AIDS victims and their caregivers

Ø      easily break through ignorance and prejudice the way you want to!

Ø      State facts that are easy to say and easy to understand 

Ø      Paint vivid and unforgettable pictures in your listener’s mind

Ø      Take the mystery out of CFIDS symptoms with specific, real-life examples

Ø      List the mind-bending coping skills that you and your loved one use - every single day

Ø Confidently state in crystal clear words that

Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome is not ordinary “fatigue”!

 CFIDS --- Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) --- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome …. It’s all the same stuff - a physical ILLNESS!  

"Ann makes her brother's and her own situation real and approachable. No one is playing the hero here, just finding real, practical ways to maintain or establish some equilibrium through what could easily become a living hell."

"One of the best things about this book is that it is written in short chapters that are easy to read--especially important when you’re feeling stressed from being a caregiver. I know it was the short reads that often got me over the hump-- chock full of real things I could do as soon as I left the room."

"A CFS Caregiver’s Guide to Hope deserves gets the wide reading audience it so caregivers and CFIDS victims can find help. Ann gives voice to their experience so that all who don't think they have been touched by CIFDS can think again. I really loved the coping strategies charts, and Ann's playful way of dealing with the extra work CFIDS creates. The “notes on the floor” tip is priceless, something I think I'll try."

Anna Moberly, Caregiver and Teacher
Connecticut, USA

As a loving caregiver, you are determined to take action to help your loved one - and every CFIDS victim - to have a good life.

And yes, you deserve a happy, good life, too. To get there, you need help.

Taking one action step at a time will give you and your loved one the help you deserve.

  • Socializing is an activist step! It might seem too challenging – but I will give you hints to make this easier on your loved one and you.
  • The right tactics will help to keep your emotional balance and your sense of humor while coping. CFS/CFIDS/ME symptoms might seem too challenging - but I will provide you with the coping strategies that work for my brother and me.
  • Hope is a vital part of your thinking. You MUST remain hopeful, and information and support is KEY. I will give you lists of specialists, authors, and websites that you can click on to get more information and help.

"Although I haven't read all of the book yet, I am very impressed by what I have seen so far. The facts/ideas/suggestions in the book are conveyed clearly and concisely, and best of all - with real passion."

"It is not (as so many books are) merely a stale regurgitation of the usual harmful 'unexplained fatigue state' propaganda but is instead a book that deals with the realities of the situation and aims to really change things for the better for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis sufferers."

"Ann's concern and compassion for her ill brother - and for everyone with M.E. - is also evident in everything she writes (minus any unhelpful sugar-coating). This book looks like it’s becoming a real must-have book for anyone with M.E., and especially for their careers and families."

"If you have CFIDS or you care for someone who has it, this is the book you’ve been waiting for. In its clearly written, fact-filled pages, you’ll find information and inspiration in abundance. Ann Corcoran not only knows all the ins and outs of this debilitating sickness; she’s also deeply familiar with its impact on people – people who hurt…people with families…people struggling to live with dignity – with their illness and in spite of their illness."

"Learn from Ann’s experience as the sister of a CFIDS sufferer. Use her knowledge and her insights to arm yourself in the fight against the illness. And most of important of all, don’t give up! At a time of rapid medical advances and changing attitudes, hope is the most reasonable choice you can make."

Margaret W Crane, Medical Communications Instructor, The Write Formula

Remember, these bonuses, worth a total of $284, are yours to keep, No Matter WHAT!

You just can’t lose!

If this book doesn’t do everything I say and more, if it doesn’t keep your interest, if it doesn’t give you ideas of where to get help or relief, if you don’t save frustration and time in getting the information you need, if this book is not inspiring, or give you enough facts and information you need to more easily convince people of CFIDS and its effect on your loved one, if the 11 pages of Coping Tactics are not helpful in any way, if the resources listed inside do not help you to become a stronger and more informed advocate for yourself and your loved one, if you do not feel more empowered to make your own good choices –

…you can get EVERY PENNY of your money back under my “no-loop-holes guarantee.”

You have everything to gain by giving it a try.

I want you to have the better quality of life that my brother and I have found in the past few years. I wrote this book to help you, the caregiver who works unfailingly and unselfishly to help your loved one. I know you want to help your loved one by taking every possible step that will benefit you, your loved one and other people who are sick with CFIDS.

Thank You for your partnership in this important cause, and

Warmest personal regards,

Sincerely,

Ann Corcoran CFIDS Caregiver

P.S. Being a caretaker of any chronically ill person is a huge commitment of your time and love. Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) has the extra demand of stigmatizing both victims – the person who’s ill and YOU, the CFS/CFIDS/ME caretaker.

You need all the resources you can get to help you receive the relief and hope you deserve – and to improve your life!

This book puts ALL the basic information – and more! - that you, the caregiver, need – into one book. You spend your hours taking care of your loved one’s needs – why spend hours trying to find out where to go to get the expert information you need? While my book is on your monitor, simply click your mouse on any highlighted link in this book – and you’re there. No more hunching over your computer for hours and hours to seek out what is quality and what’s not.

The bonuses alone, Velma Gallant's“The Seven Roadblocks to Self-Love”, Velma’s Professional Coaching Session, Tony Masiello’s “The Parables of Inspiration,Bob Doyle’s Atmosphere Environmental Software, Bob’s “Experiential Meditation” downloadable mp3, Cheryl Miller’s report on "Healthy Snack Challenge Ebook and E-Course" and my weekly newsletter, “CFS-CFIDS-M.E. Hope “– all together the worth of these is more than $284! PLUS my ebook, “A CFS Caregiver’s Guide to Hope”. All these make this a value you just should NOT pass up!

P.P.S. Remember as well, my full one year, iron-clad, money-back guarantee!

P.P.P.S. I thought I had better mention another Big Benefit - Remember, your time and energy are probably stretched to their limits. Whenever you are too exhausted for explanations, you will be able to print out pages from this book, one by one if you want, and slide them across your desk or the kitchen table to your co-worker, boss, friend, relative – legislator, even – and say, “Here – You need to know this. This is my life with my CFIDS loved one.

It’s true…I just have to say it one more time. This book is a one-stop shop full of all the basics – exactly what you need to get on your way to getting relief and a sense of hope for your own life as a caretaker of your loved one who suffers from CFS-CFIDS-ME.

I know, from my personal experience, you want to take the best care of your loved one.But you and I know that you have to get the help that YOU need. If the word-pictures, coping tips, explanations, and resources don’t inspire you or make you feel more hopeful – if for ANY REASON you do not find this helps you to take action to get some help – if for ANY REASON AT ALL you are not 100% satisfied, you have nothing to lose. No questions asked – just ask for your money to be returned, and you have my personal guarantee of a 100% refund – and the bonuses are still yours to keep.

So, you see, you have NOTHING to lose – this is a 100% iron clad guarantee – AND, as a matter of fact, I am so committed to you receiving value from this offer and appreciating your own valuable time you have taken to read about it,that you will also get to KEEP the bonuses, AND the book!

That’s right –Through my no-risk, 100% no-questions asked, money back guarantee; your satisfaction is absolutely assured.
