Hi, I had a new symptom start around 6 months ago and, because of the infamous being ‘fobbed off’ incident, it was only investigated this week. Here’s what has been going on. I started to get pain in my right breast that could have been caused by any number of factors. I assumed it would …
Hello! 25th October marks one year since Patch left Foggy HQ forever to chase squirrels and run through meadows for eternity. To mark the date, I am starting an annual day of thanks to those who SEE us and offer love, support and practical help to get us through each day. Patch saw me. He …
Hello! Foggy is travelling to Christchurch, New Zealand and is surrounded by the bubbly loveliness that is first class (jiffy bag). To bide his time Foggy is going to tell you all about Sally’s issues with digestive problems. Sally has had problems with reactions to certain foods, bloating and discomfort (to name a few symptoms) her …
Hi, Payback is something that M.E/C.F.S. patients mention all the time, as a community we know what payback is and we don’t need to explain to each other how we are feeling.

Many M.E …
Hi! Team Foggy and my new business Stripy Lightbulb’s Non-Executive Director Yvonne had a great time in London yesterday. We went to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to see the Cure M.E/M.E/CFS biobank team. The main reason for the visit was to talk about Stripy Lightbulb CIC, my new social enterprise. Community …
Hello! I hadn’t planned on writing loads of blogs during Foggy’s home stretch but a few things have happened that should be talked about. Yesterday, for want of a better word, I was ‘head-hunted’ due to my social media marketing business to ‘host’ a Twitter hour slot for the foreseeable future. I had a phone …
Hello! Devoted fans, Sally drives herself nuts by wondering if there is anything she did pre-M.E to trigger her illness. Maybe she shouldn’t have got so stressed over a breakup or maybe she should have looked after herself better. I’m sure she’s not alone in that way of thinking. I keep telling her it’s nothing …
Hi, Over the past 4 years, I have been struck by the sheer number of M.E/CFS sufferers who keep their health private. They are free to do so, that is their choice to make. However, as the founder of ME Foggy Dog, I waived that right to privacy in order to raise awareness. As you …
