Pain is personal

Pain is personal

One in five adults has chronic pain. This has consequences for daily life, but not everyone dares to talk about it openly.

Some people hide their pain. Marleen Schefferlie has fibromyalgia and wrote the book Pain is personal to break the taboo on pain. She interviewed eleven fellow sufferers about their history, the therapies and the thoughts that keep them going.
