Sharni L. Hardcastle is a rheumatologist based on the Gold Coast. Her practice is at 9.22, Parklands Drive, Gold Coast, QLD 4222, Australia.
Rheumatology can sound a bit confusing, but in everyday terms it’s about conditions that affect the body through inflammation, pain, and how the immune system behaves. Sharni helps people who live with long-lasting symptoms that can make normal life hard. At times this includes ongoing fatigue and body aches, and the slow, frustrating process of getting clear answers.
Her work includes supporting patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and fibromyalgia. These conditions often come with flare-ups, where you can feel up one day and then get hit with tiredness, soreness, and “brain fog” the next. Symptoms can also overlap with other illnesses, so it’s not always straightforward. Sharni looks at the bigger picture and aims to help patients understand what might be going on.
Sharni also works with people dealing with mononucleosis. For some, recovery can take longer than expected, and fatigue may linger. In many cases, the goal is to sort through what’s happening, manage symptoms, and put a plan in place that fits real life, not just a clinic visit.
People often come in after trying to push through for a while. Over time they may feel stuck, worried, or unsure who to turn to. Sharni takes a calm approach and focuses on listening closely. She understands that symptoms can affect sleep, mood, work, and family life. That’s why the conversation is usually practical, including what helps, what makes things worse, and what can be done next.
While specific details about education and research aren’t listed here, the focus of care is clear: thoughtful medical assessment, ongoing symptom support, and helping patients move forward with a clearer plan. If you’re dealing with long-term fatigue, widespread pain, or a slow recovery after viral illness, Sharni’s clinic can be a place to get structured care and steady guidance.
