 A couple of weeks ago I had the wonderful pleasure of
talking to the lovely Suzan Jackson for my Spoonies with Purpose podcast.  

In this interview Sue tells us of her experience of living
with ME/CFS and then being a mother to 2 sons who also had the illness. She
shares how she discovered that she wanted to make the world a better place and
how she wanted to support people by sharing the things that she found that help
physically as well as how to cope better with the illness emotionally.
