Produktbeschreibung

A fire burns inside you to rejoin the world, but your body simply won't allow it... This is the reality for millions living with long-term fatigue, such as ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome), long-COVID, fibromyalgia and other chronic conditions. People are crying out for help, but it's so hard to find. This ground-breaking book fills this gap, addressing the physical, emotional, and medical realities as you navigate what is often a difficult path. Combining personal stories with the latest research, Sarah Vizer uses her own experience with chronic fatigue syndrome to balance hope with reality. Sarah has lived through it all - from being mostly house-bound and feeling let down by her body, to now functioning well despite daily fatigue. Too Tired To Think offers practical advice for coping and adapting to a new normal, showing that you can still lead a happy and productive life even with fatigue. Whether you're dealing with fatigue yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find clear, actionable advice that's easy to follow, even when you're tired. A quick overview of the main sections as follows: Physical reality...nurturing a tired body. This is about getting a handle on what is happening right now. It covers symptoms, the impact of activity (particularly when you overdo it), how to manage finite energy and an introduction to pacing - arguably the best strategy available for managing fatigue. Emotional reality...riding the rollercoaster. This is about navigating the highs and lows of long-term conditions. We look at how to tap into a mindset that is about growth and support, addressing those unhelpful thinking patterns, strengthening your ability to cope with even the darkest days, and building the team of navigation partners you need for a better future. Medical reality...navigating cracked systems. This is about navigating the difficult world of medical options and practitioners, with the aim of getting the care you need. We explore how to advocate for yourself, putting together an effective multi-disciplinary team of professionals, finding your 'gems' and dealing with the various hurdles experienced by those who have gone before you. Getting the help you need...what works and what doesn't. This is the practical application of the earlier information, building the foundation of good practice to manage the condition. You can jump straight to this section if you have little energy right now and just want some quick actions to implement straight away¿.
