Chanelle Felder found her mission in life through the mysterious illness that left her mind in a fog, her body bloated and her high-energy lifestyle on hold. “I was directionless before,” the 22-year-old said. “Now I have a laserlike focus on what I want my legacy to be and what I want to get out of life.”
Felder, who graduates from Germanna Community College on Wednesday, was 16 when her slender 5-foot, 7-inch frame started expanding inexplicably.
She began having crying spells, waking in the middle of the night, and suffering numbness and pain in the feet that for years had carried her gracefully across dance floors. Clumps of hair started falling out, she became sluggish, and her normally sharp mind started going blank. Felder was a Mountain View High School junior, cheerleader and honors student when the symptoms began.
Chanelle Felder, 22, has turned things around dramatically at Germanna.
