Meet Your Host: Abigail
Runner · Writer · Fellow Spoonie
I’m Abigail Fernald — runner, writer, and fellow spoonie who understands what it means to live in a body that doesn’t always feel safe.
I’ve navigated years of chronic Lyme disease, co-infections, mold illness, and nervous system dysregulation. There have been seasons of being bedbound with POTS, navigating strict diets due to MCAS, and feeling housebound from agoraphobia rooted in a dysregulated nervous system.
I know how isolating, confusing, and exhausting it can be — physically, emotionally, and mentally. This space was created with that understanding in mind.
“A place where your experience is valid, your body makes sense, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. From one spoonie to another: you are seen.”
