From doctor to patient to doctor again, Dr Steven Sommer's uplifting story is told alongside the story of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Steven's life and career was soaring with potential before it is was derailed by ME/CFS. Steven and his partner, Tori, unveil the horrors of what it was like to have this disease as he shares his search for answers, a quest that culminates in a joyous turn-around.

Interwoven, is the fascinating medical research that's blowing the hat off our understanding of this oft-maligned illness. It exposes and verifies that ME/CFS is truly a biomedical disease not a psychiatric one and that Long Covid is revealing itself to be an ME/CFS type illness.

Currently, close to two hundred and fifty thousand Australians and millions of people worldwide are impacted by ME/CFS. This number is likely to swell as a percentage of people with Long Covid go on to develop ME/CFS.

In the follow-up companion book, A Path Back to Life, Steven provides a management approach, he calls Micro-Rehab, that gives hope and practical guidance to those who need it.

In A Path Back to Life Dr. Steven Sommer brings together an effective ME/CFS treatment plan he calls Micro Rehab that can also help people with Long Covid.

Underpinning this approach is growing self-awareness (mindfulness) that can be applied to pacing and individualised Rehab sessions. This plan involves building a solid base by; garnering social support; maximising quality sleep; low GI nutrition; and an emphasis on mind-body strategies that he refers to as the 'Rest/Activity Dance' and 'Defusing the Loop.'

Clear instructions allow the spectre of Post Exertional Malaise (PEM) to be avoided utilising an approach he refers to as 'Micro-Rehab.' It turns the frustration that so many with this disease experience as a negative into a guiding light. The exquisite sensitivity that people experience with this illness becomes their greatest ally allowing for safe reconditioning that liberates energy and builds stamina. This means whilst not necessarily cured, the person with ME/CFS will be able to participate much more in life.
