Forgotten Legacy of Stella Walsh - The Greatest Female Athlete of Her Time

Informationen zum Autor Motivated by five plus years of judgment for not appearing disabled enough, Anderson wrote this book as a simple visual tool to make clear that while appearing normal, living with Chronic Fatigue is a life-changing and controlling disease with a complex combination and fluctuation of symptoms that cannot be "seen." Adjusting to change, letting go of control, focusing on well-being, practicing yoga, and simply trusting and accepting what is has been a profound learning experience for Anderson.
