As a Chronic Fatigue Syndrome sufferer for over 10 years, I was for a long time desperate for answers and support to find a path to recovery. As is so often the case, those answers and support were scant at best from traditional healthcare providers, hell, securing a diagnosis was itself a significant challenge.

Raelan is the author of ‘Finding Freedom: Escaping from the Prison of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome’ (a publication I refer to in my own book ‘On a Scale from 1 to 10’) and the first person in over seven years of confusion, discomfort and suffering to shine a light on what could be afflicting me.

I begin to describe how I learned to manage my condition and find the path to recovery, let me first apologise in advance because I have start by being very blunt - there is no quick fix!
