Chronic. Invisible.
Debilitating. and hard to
diagnose
Three words to
describe Soeun’s physical discomfort when he is in Australia.
In 2011 he started
having symptoms of a vestibular disorder. We began searching for a diagnosis
and treatment, trying to pinpoint possible triggers. Five years later we still don’t really know
much except that his symptoms begin after being in Aus for a month. He still sometimes gets sick here but it’s not
24/7 debilitation that it is in Aus.
Our feeling is that
visiting Aus for more than a month would be useless and even detrimental to us.
So we will probably have to make more frequent and shorter visits. We have at
least 3 places we need to visit. Each
trip is a big disruption and expense so previously we have tried to see
everyone in the same trip.
