Mereana lives with a long‑term autoimmune condition that causes unpredictable waves of fatigue. On her better days, she looks after her own hygiene needs. On more difficult days, the exhaustion arrives suddenly and intensely, leaving her without the energy to start everyday activities. In the last 3 days, the fatigue has made it difficult for her to even try doing things like having a shower and putting day clothes on. She has been in bed for the last 3 days. |
