"After reading The Cycle Path I came away with a better understanding of the issues sufferers face and of the opportunities." - Sir Nigel Crisp, Former NHS Chief Executive

"Delightful and full of expression and pathos." - Sheila Johnson, Christian Herald

Description

The remarkable story of a woman who suffers from and overcomes Conversion Syndrome Disorder (CSD), a rare, crippling and extremely frightening condition which causes physical paralysis bought on by anxiety. This real life story describes how Fiona experienced domestic abuse, family problems and how she managed somehow to overcome all this not knowing for years what her illness was. She is now a successful journalist and activist. The Cycle Path is an admirable story of hope and empowerment and is essential reading for all health workers and sufferers of similar conditions - particularly as CSD is so unknown and widely misunderstood.
