Feeling Tired All the Time

"I found Joe Fitzgibbons' coverage of the debilitating illness known as "chronic tiredness" both very comprehensive and jargon-free. This was ideal for a layman such as myself to get my head around. To be honest just to find that somebody in "authority" actually believed that the illness wasn't just malingering or a hypocondriac moan was the biggest relief of all. At last confirmation that I truly was not going insane. The best part of this book is that unlike many other doctors (if you can get them to believe you) he doesn't just tell what to avoid but suggests replacements. For example when dealing with food allergy Dr. Fitzgibbon has included sample diet sheets for varied severity. The same for chronic candida a.k.a. "fermenting gut syndrome". Dr. Fitzgibbon even goes as far to list the correct medical prescriptions and doses for treatment of any physical sources of chronic tiredness. The subject in hand has many very complex symptoms and causes but I felt that Dr. Fitzgibbon dealt with them all without causing confusion. For my own self this book has helped recover the lives of both my wife and I from a prolonged near decade of real hell. If you suffer from chronic tiredness and other people think you're just lazy or malingering then you need to buy this book before despair takes you. It is an essential tool to beat your own disbelieving GP over the head with when finally you have found a doctor who won't pooh-pooh your real illness."
