First Light of Dawn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781481156561)

L.S. Elmer experienced M.E. for 15 years. She had a gradual onset at first, but after a viral infection at the age of thirteen, she ended up in the severe stage of the condition for several years. After finally receiving a diagnosis after living with the illness for 10 years, she listened to all the advice given by the medical profession on how to get well. It didn't work. So being a bit of a rebel she began to question all of this and do things her own way. After an awful lot of trial and error, and doing exactly what she had been advised not to do, the answers slowly began to reveal themselves. L.S. Elmer has now been fully recovered for 7 years. Despite being told this was impossible after having become as severely ill as she did, she has had no problems since and now leads a full active life as if she had never experienced M.E. at all.
