By Kate O'Halloran, ABCClaire O'Meara was in her late 40s when she started experiencing a range of symptoms that made her think she was "dying of something really rare". Naturally fit, O'Meara, now 61, had spent most of her adult life as a physical training instructor in the Army. On weekends, she ran half marathons for 'fun', while she represented the Defence Force in the national touch footy championships. But almost overnight, O'Meara says she was "stopped dead" in her tracks.
