Jenni, 19, fought back from chronic fatigue illness which left her unable to get out of bed
Stockton teen plans fundraising ball for charity which helped her through
“The biggest misconception is that people think you’re just tired – it’s so much more than that.”
So says Stockton 19-year-old Jenni Mawson, who has struggled with chronic fatigue condition ME - Myalgic Encephalomyelitis - throughout her teenage years.
As a child, she loved dancing, swimming and ice skating. But when she got glandular fever as an 11-year-old, she says “things went steadily downhill from there.”
Jenni says she’s had some really difficult periods - including being unable to attend school because of her illness and the extreme fatigue which often left her unable to even get out of bed.
But she says help from the charity ME North East - which is facing a funding crisis - was crucial.
