My name is Jop Purnell. I live in Sydney, Australia and I have been living with ME/CFS since December 2016. At my worst, I was bed bound and dependent on a carer. For five very long years I didn’t think I would ever recover, then in 2022 I learned that recovery was possible, and I set about learning how to do it. After two years of doing the recovery work, I was physically 100% recovered. In 2024, COVID knocked me down and I spent six months recovering a second time. Then a COVID vaccination absolutely floored me, forcing me to undertake recovery for a third time.   

This website provides details and insights from my journey with, and recovering from ME/CFS, not once, but three times. It is important to note that I am not a doctor, I am not providing a service, I am not selling anything, I am just sharing details of my experience so that others suffering from this horrible disease may find some tools, hope and inspiration to recover.
