A new book sheds light on the complexities of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), a debilitating condition affecting hundreds of thousands of people.
The book, born from the author’s personal experience with a family member’s illness, details the challenges faced by those living with ME/CFS, a disease that is often misunderstood and dismissed. More than 600,000 Canadians are impacted by this complex illness, and it’s characterized by “post-exertional malaise,” where any physical activity can worsen symptoms.
The author’s investigation, based on a review of approximately thirty scientific studies, explores the real neurological mechanisms behind the disease and draws striking parallels to long COVID. This research is particularly important as it challenges the misconception that the condition is “all in the head,” and highlights the very real physiological impact of the illness.
The author will discuss the book on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, during an interview on Marie-Eve Tremblay’s radio program.
