Roberta Pelletta

A freelance interpreter for European Institutions for 25 years, always travelling around Europe, in 2006, she suddenly cannot even manage getting the newspaper around the corner. The diagnosis of CFS/ME comes in 2007.

She lost her freelance job, and had to face a long legal procedure in order to have her sickness recognized by the insurance covering her professional category.

She wrote "Stanchi si diventa" in 2010. The booklet was translated into English in 2012, as "Sick and Tired" (it can be downloaded from Smashwords for free).
