Hi!
My name is Manon but I'm "M" to my friends. 

I'm 25 and got diagnosed with Post-infectious hyperalgesic Fibromyalgia earlier this year after getting infected with Ross River Virus, an arbovirus endemic to the north-east of Australia. After 6 months of infection, fibromyalgia took over and I suffered bone-crushing pain in most of my joints for over a year, starting with 3 months of being bedridden and 'ending' after 6 months of medical battles, cries for help and being sent to a literal psychiatric hospital before finally getting a diagnosis in April.

Basically, I went through hell, and now I'm (mostly) back. I have medicinal and psychological treatments in place to help manage the pain and am now in a much better place. However, being a professional dog trainer, host and walker, I can't quite yet resume my business activity with the unstability of my road to recovery. I have been forced to terminate my business in Brisbane in June 24 and am longing to get back and be surrounded by puppies, as my job is one of my passions.

Another passion of mine is traveling. I haven't been able to do much of that either except for the 'forced' return to France (I'm a french citizen and my family currently lives in France) and going to a thermal center in the South West of France to help with the pain and rest a bit in mineral-rich water.

This fund my travel ad is a stab in the dark to hopefully raise some funds to get back to being myself one step at a time, starting with going back to traveling. It also means learning a new way of traveling, with a lot more consideration to my mental and physical health, hence the traveling to countries where meditation and alternative lifestyle and methods are available and customary.

I hope this gets some attention and that it will be the start of a new chapter in my life.

Thank you for your time and support.
With all my love and appreciation,
M
