Edwina Bartholomew’s husband Neil Varcoe has shared an encouraging health update, just months after being diagnosed with chronic fatigue.
In June, the father-of-two revealed how he was struck down with chronic fatigue syndrome after suffering from a virus that “knocked him”.
At the time, he told Australian’s Women Weekly that he had to cut back on his work after his energy depletion made him feel like he “had nothing left” to give to his job.
Now, Varcoe has shared a positive update on his condition, saying he has returned to work as a communications teacher at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst.
The university campus is a 40 minute drive from Carcoar, where Neil, Edwina and their two children moved last year with plans to renovate a historic hotel.
Neil shared in a heart-warming update on Instagram that he has taught his final class in feature writing and data journalism, with his wife Edwina joining in via Zoom.

“I wrapped my final class at Charles Sturt University Bathurst yesterday with a chat with a journalist I greatly admire — my wife Edwina,” Neil’s caption began.
“For the past three-and-a-half months, I’ve taught feature writing and data journalism to a talented group of students.”
He went on to thank his colleagues and students, before teasing a return to the regional university in the new year.
Neil’s followers took to the comments to share praise for his return to university, and wish him all the best on this health journey.
One person wrote, “Well done 🤩 So rewarding to get back on the bike as the saying goes!”
Another local added, “I hope you both keep returning to us at Charles Sturt! Congratulations…I’m sure the students loved you.”
