Disability and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome:

Disability and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Clinical, Legal, and Patient Perspectives explores methods to assess severity of illness and impairment in persons suffering with CFS. It shows that more work needs to be done to develop objective measures of impairment that accurately reflect the patient's degree of disability. Contributors explore possible answers to the questions: How can a clinician quantify the degree of impairment? How can the legal and judicial systems weigh the facts and the impact of this illness on each person with CFS? How does a patient persevere and get past the barriers, despite his/her illness?
