作者简介:Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., is a Professor of neurosciences at New Jersey Medical School and has headed an eighteen-year program of federally funded research into understanding the reasons for severe and long-lasting fatigue and pain. Dr. Natelson also maintains a private practice and has appeared on national media, including Fresh Air and Larry King Live. His previous books are Tomorrow's Doctors and Facing and Fighting Fatigue.
内容简介
"Thank God for this book. It provides the help that millions of Americans with 'silent illnesses' like chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia have been waiting for. Dr. Natelson is a brilliant and compassionate clinician who covers the best treatments that medical science has to offer, along with a thorough consideration of complementary approaches. Short of cloning him, this book offers the specific help you need to work in partnership with your own physician."
"Natelson is the kind of doctor every patient is looking for: smart, thoughtful, empathetic, and supportive. Reading Your Symptoms Are Real is the next best thing to having a world-renowned specialist managing your case."
"Do not throw up your hands and give up when one doctor after another tells you there is nothing wrong with you—instead, read this book! Benjamin Natelson is the person you have been looking for to guide you on your path to recovery."
"Natelson superbly incorporates research studies, clinical trials (even on drugs in development), and patient case reports in this book. If you are battling pain and fatigue symptoms but your tests are all normal, you will enjoy reading Natelson's pro-patient approach to explaining the real nature of your illness, his recommended treatment approaches, and how to cope with everything that is going on in your life."
