Summary
An outdoorsy environmental scientist who blogs as Green Girl contracted Ross River virus in 2009 and relapsed severely in 2010, becoming mostly bedbound with fatigue and brain fog so severe she could only read small amounts. She used pacing, graded exercise, meditation, yoga, supplements, juicing, a protein-focused diet and stress management to work back toward health. She is described as almost recovered and able to lead a normal life, and the page promotes her own website.
