Full Description
Anne Welsh has lived with chronic pain all her life. As a sufferer of sickle cell disease, she is no stranger to the everyday struggles and mental anguish that can come from living with an invisible illness. | Like so many who suffer from painful and life-changing conditions, Anne has battled with depression - times when she believed that she could never lead a normal and happy life. But thanks to the support of many people along the way, she has discovered that life can still be wonderful, no matter what your challenges are. | In 'Pain-Less', Anne talks about these struggles and the lessons she has learned, and gives advice that she hopes will help not only others in a similar situation, but also their families and loved ones. | For Anne and many like her, pain is an inevitable part of daily life, but that doesn't mean you can't fulfil your dreams - whatever they may be.
