The Fatigue Book: Chronic fatigue syndrome and long covid fatigue: tips for recovery

Product Information

It outlines proven fatigue management tips and is suitable for people of all ages affected by either long COVID or CFS/ME, and for their family and friends. Each chapter includes a range of Tips from which to choose plus Food for thought, Pause and Mind, body and soul. Whether someone is at the start of their recovery journey or has been doing this for some time, there is clear, practical advice based on a self-management approach that applies the principles of Pacing and Activity Management (but NOT Graded Exercise), as recommended by the new NICE guidelines for both conditions. Drawing on her unique joint training in occupational therapy and psychotherapy and long professional experience in an NHS Fatigue Clinic, Lydia Rolley provides an approach that recognises physical, mental and emotional/spiritual needs suited to the individual. Written by an expert with long-standing and first hand experience. There are so many useful tools, and it’s bang up to date so no perpetuating of damaging therapies like GET.

Not only can you tailor the advice to your particular needs (the 100 tips are organised into 11 thematic chapters) but you can find what you need easily due to the tip index. I’ll be referring to different aspects over the course of my recovery journey depending on what I need when.
