In her groundbreaking memoir, Freak When Spoken To, Kerstin Wartberg shares her deeply personal journey of healing and thriving with chronic illness. Diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and POTS at a young age, Wartberg faced years of misdiagnoses, disbelief, and debilitating symptoms. But instead of giving up, she embarked on an unconventional path to recovery, one that would ultimately lead her to a life of purpose and fulfillment.

Wartberg's memoir is a raw and honest account of her struggles with chronic illness. She doesn't sugarcoat the challenges she faced, but she also doesn't dwell on them. Instead, she focuses on the lessons she learned along the way and the strategies she developed to help her manage her symptoms and live a full and meaningful life.

One of the most important things Wartberg learned is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing from chronic illness. She had to find what worked for her own unique body and mind. Through trial and error, she discovered that a combination of traditional and alternative therapies, along with a strong support system, helped her to make significant progress.

In Freak When Spoken To, Wartberg generously shares her hard-won wisdom with readers. She offers practical advice on everything from finding the right doctors and treatments to managing symptoms and dealing with the emotional challenges of living with chronic illness. She also emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and self-compassion, and encourages readers to embrace their own unique experiences.

Freak When Spoken To is an inspiring and empowering memoir that offers hope and guidance to those living with chronic illness. Wartberg's story is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, it is possible to thrive and heal.
