Soft as a whisper
Silent as a cat
Blank as an idea
Cold as a headstone
The taste of childhood
The scent of a mountain stream

About Me
- Name: Nina Ondine
- Location: Melbourne, Australia
By the time I was diagnosed with Hypersensitisation Disorder in February 2007, my suspicion of having a chronic illness was confirmed. At last there was a rational explanation for the array of peculiar and seemingly unrelated symptoms and ailments that had been plaguing me for quite some time. Being able to label my condition, afforded me validation: I was not a self-absorbed hyperchondriac after all! Little did I know that from that moment on, I would embark on an endless uphill battle consisting of consultations and clinical investigations; most of these proved very expensive, many fruitless, and some downright painful. Finding the right balance between seeking adequate medical support and relying on my own intuition, and learning to manage my private and professional lives, has been a full time juggling act that I have yet to master. In this Blog I share some of my thoughts and experiences relating to the endless pursuit of conquering chronic illness.
