Non Solo Fatica (not just fatigue)
Non Solo Fatica (not just fatigue) is a book and compendium on ME in Italian. Its subtitle: from Myalgiac Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome to Long-COVID. It is expected to be published at the start of next year. We’ll keep you informed.
About the book
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic and disabling condition that often appears after a viral infection. COVID is one of several viruses that can trigger it, and science has already seen that 10-20% of cases of the so-called Long-COVID are nothing more than ME/CFS.
Through 150 questions and as many answers, it explains what this disease consists of, where research is at, what drugs have been tested, and what are the open problems.
A useful vademecum for those who suffer or think they suffer from it and those who are simply interested in learning more about one of the greatest medical challenges of this century.
