[[File:Roberta Pelletta.png|280px|thumb|right|Roberta Pelletta]] '''Roberta Pelletta''' worked as a freelance interpreter for European Institutions for 25 years, always traveling around Europe from her homecountry of Italy. In 2006, she became suddenly ill, two months following a long, painful bout of [[mononucleosis]]. She was not even able to manage the walk around the corner to pick up the newspaper. The diagnosis of [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]]/[[chronic fatigue syndrome]] (ME/CFS) came in 2007. <ref name="Pelletta, 2012"/> She lost her freelance job, and had to face a long legal procedure in order to have her illness recognized by the disability insurance company covering her professional category.<ref name="Pelletta, 2012"/> She wrote about her experience with [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] in "[[Stanchi si diventa]]" in 2010. The booklet was translated from Italian to English in 2012, as "Sick and Tired." It can be downloaded from Smashwords for free.<ref name="Pelletta, 2012"> {{Citation | last1 = Pelletta | first1 = Roberta| authorlink1 = Roberta Pelletta | title = Sick and Tired | date = 2012 | publisher = Smashwords | url = https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/245439}}</ref> ==Books == *2010, Stanchi si diventa - [Italian] *2012, [https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/245439 Sick and Tired - Smashwords] - [English translation] ==Online presence== *[https://www.facebook.com/Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome-An-ebook-by-Roberta-Pelletta-451401454923754/ Facebook- An ebook by Roberta Pelletta] ==See also == *[[Stanchi si diventa]] *[[Italy]] ==References== {{Reflist}} [[Category:People with ME, CFS, and/or FMS]] [[Category:Authors]]
