Since being diagnosed with post viral syndrome in 1994, Frank has remained moderately to severely affected by this illness. In recent years, he was struggling with a relapse and was experiencing a slow deterioration in his health. Things changed dramatically in September 2019 when he had a stroke. In a remarkable turn of events, he defied medical expectations and a seemingly miraculous return to robust health resulted. CFS is a debilitating illness that not only affects the patient, but also family and friends. Therefore, Frank's son Nick has included his thoughts on what it is like to live with a father who has this invisible chronic illness. This book is the result of over two decades of personal experiences and research into chronic fatigue/pain disorders. These are a range of controversial illnesses commonly referred to as: post viral syndrome (PVS), myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), systemic exertion intolerance disease (SEID) and fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). "Everybody has a unique biochemistry, and it is not uncommon that people stumble over something that uniquely helps them. So I am thrilled that you found that and are feeling better." - Dr Jacob Teitelbaum, MD Dr Teitelbaum is a board certified internist (specialist in internal medicine) from the USA and internationally renowned expert in the fields of CFS, FMS, sleep and pain disorders. "I have seen Frank struggle with the debilitating effects of CFS and am happily surprised to fi nd that he has been in excellent sustained remission since September 2019. High dose atorvastatin may have well contributed to his marvellous turn around and is worthy of strong consideration for other sufferers also. "One never knows if this could turn out to be an effective therapeutic supplemental / treatment for others with ME/CFS. We wish him ongoing good health." - Dr Zev Barr, MBBS, FRACGP Dr Barr has been Frank's trusted doctor for well over two decades
