Description

This publication is also available to buy as an eBook.

At the age of eighteen, Hazel Stapleton suddenly went from being a healthy, active teenager who had just embarked on a career in nursing, to being chronically ill, with numerous serious health complications developing over the subsequent years, leaving her house-bound and now mainly bed-bound. Since her diagnosis with the neuroimmune disorder ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis),
Hazel has realized that many people are unaware of the impact and serious nature of this illness, which is often portrayed as a psychological problem.
In this book, through telling of her own experiences of ME, she seeks to raise awareness about this devastating condition and the effects it has on people’s lives.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Hazel Stapleton is originally from North Somerset. She was diagnosed with ME in 1991.
Since then her health has deteriorated, and she is now house-bound and most of the
time bed-bound. Hazel lives with her parents in County Down, Northern Ireland.

Again, an excellent book - I've written to a couple of newspapers

I was spurred on to write to the Daily Telegraph and our local Dundee Courier (which has published letters by me on ME before) after realising that even our specialist nurse died in Fife over a year ago. I hadn't seen him for a while as there are so many on his waiting list, so was shocked to hear the news.

An excellent book for those who are suffering to share with others

I bought three on my first order, and have given them all away so I've just ordered again. I have been suffering from ME for over 50 years and trying to find a book like this has been such a boon. This is in part because of the information shared in a brief and orderly way so that anyone can understand, but also because of the quotes. Even so-called consultants are totally ignorant of the facts, but this book gives them a starting point to 'see the light'. Last year we lost our one and only specialist nurse here in Scotland, and no one else is interested. Thank you Hazel.

A Good Read

It's a very good read. Very encouraging if you're in the same boat. Very helpful if you seek to understand. A valuable resource for everyone.
