Tyler Wright Withdraws From First Half Of The 2019 Season

Wright fell ill in July last year while training in South Africa. She subsequently withdrew from the rest of the year as she struggled to get back to 100% and is still taking it day by day. As Wright explained to Rip Curl, she’s been feeling symptomatic with light and sound sensitivity, as well as headaches and brain fog. “Stressful situations and little tasks become extremely difficult without your body working normally too”, Wright added.

The goal is recovery to 100% and I feel like there has been progress, however slow. Recovery I feel will be in stages:

• Stage 1 is to live a normal day/week without being symptomatic.
• Stage 2 is to introduce increased physical tasks without being symptomatic
• Stage 3 is to increase physical tasks with travel
• Stage 4 is to return to being my best

Most of the time, the athlete side of me kind of feels hopeless because I’m so used to “doing” to get better: training, rehab and pushing through, but doing that with this illness just ends up with you on the floor in a puddle of tears. It’s completely unnerving because with my day/recovery, the smaller I go the better, which is the opposite of fighting through like I’ve usually done.

Enterovirus/ sewage exposure?... Could that be an epidemiological factor here, if ME/CFS is more prevalent in surfers?
