Summary
Chelsea's chronic fatigue returned at age 28, and she was ill for about three years before she noticed improvement. She credits ozone therapy from a naturopath, sleep work and ANS Rewire, then graded exercise with pacing after a crash that led her to apply for disability. She now lives an active life but still feels fear and stress outside her routine.
