With support from my university I was able to split my final year of degree to combat the effects of fatigue and in July 2019 I was delighted to graduate with a first. Unfortunately in spite of all the support that I received from so many different people as well as my fortune in severity of the illness, especially having not been ventilated, I still experienced difficulties and was told I had chronic fatigue syndrome 6 months after my illness.
2 years on from my illness I am slowly returning to the level of exercise I undertook before and am looking forward to starting a new job in September 2019. From my experiences I have learnt a great deal about the recovery process and given that I know how hard the recovery can be even with incredible levels of support and help I am eager to add my support and knowledge to others in a similar or less fortunate situation than myself so as to help them as best I can.
