And thankfully she did finally fully recover!Since her full recovery about four years ago, Raelan has become passionate about spreading hope for others facing chronic illnesses such as ME/CFS, Long Covid, and Fibromyalgia. She is the author of Finding Freedom: Escaping from the Prison of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, has built a successful YouTube channel full of resources for health and healing, and designed online courses, accessible at raelanagle.com, to aid others on their journey towards health and happiness.
