From Bedbound Teen to PhD — Steph’s CFS Recovery Story

When Steph was just 16, she went from playing two games of netball a day… to not being able to walk to the bathroom on her own. 

Doctors told her it was “all in her head.”
Friends drifted away.
And hope started to fade. 

But Steph refused to give up. 

Week by week, little by little, she rebuilt her life. 

From being bedbound and unable to feed herself… to running half-marathons, finishing her PhD, and now working as an exercise physiologist helping others recover. 

It’s one of the most inspiring full-circle recoveries I’ve ever seen — and one that will remind you that no matter how bad things feel right now, there’s always a way forward.
