About me

Location	Tasmania, Australia
Introduction	I used to be an outdoorsy, community-activist-y, garden-growing kind of person who likes sea kayaking, mountain climbing, body surfing and riding my bike. But currently I have ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Synddrome), so I am person that dwells in 'slowtown' where the main activities are resting, very slow household-based activities, crocheting, and reading kids books. ME/CFS started for me in March 2016, at 33 years of age, although I had experienced 2 shorter term episodes of post viral fatigue before, and thought I had recovered. These are some of my insights from this time of huge learning. Several other people's cfs blogs have really helped me, and I would be honoured if this blog were able to help anyone else.
