It has been an impossible, agonising struggle, under the most horrendous circumstances, but I so much wanted to produce a detailed, comprehensive Care Guide to Severe and Very Severe ME, especially with NICE in the offing. I am very proud then to announce the publication of my new book "Severe ME: More Notes For Carers" on Kindle and also now in print. For more information, see: https://stonebird.co.uk/morenotes/index.html Hoping it brings insight and understanding to many. The book is dedicated to our dear friend Merryn who died from Very Severe ME. She will always be remembered.. The lives of the most severely affected should never be forgotten.
