Hello everyone,

I'm trying to put together a list of writers who suffer from or have suffered CFS/ME. Even one book written is enough. This list is not of authors who have written about CFS/ME, but any book written by a sufferer. I will start with a few-

Gregg Charles Fisher (both him and his wife got ME) "Chronic fatigue syndrome A comprehensive guide to symptoms, treatments and solving the practical problems of CFS" This book is a very good ME book. It has an updated version. He shares about stuff him and his wife tried among other things.

Lynn Michell "Shattered Life with ME" A decent ME book too.

Two more names for the list:

* Elisabeth Tova Bailey (pen name)

She's the author of "The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating."

* Floyd Skloot

He has a chronic illness but I'm not completely sure what his current diagnosis is. He may have a different diagnosis now.

He is an amazing author and writes everything from poetry to novels. One book that many patients with ME/CFS will like is called "Patient 002." It's loosely based on the Ampligen trials.

Only people who have suffered ME/CFS- books on any topic, but just written by people who have suffered.
