Hi, I’m off to Amsterdam with Hattie the Otter and family later today and I have told Sally to get some work done while I am away. She wants to tell you all about how her Hypermobility Syndrome symptom (HMS) of fidgeting (not really a symptom but you’ll see what we mean in a bit) …
Hi, This is an issue that has bugged me for years – how do people with M.E lose weight? Now I’m not talking about people with severe M.E who are often drastically under-weight because of the condition. This blog relates more to mild/moderate sufferers. I went to an M.E conference a few years ago and …
Hi, Foggy is still winging his way to Melbourne to see the Emerge Australia gang (9 days and counting….eek). I’m making the most of the peace and quiet and, in slow time, getting ready for our M.E Awareness Week events next week (full info on mefoggydog.org). The week so far has been very busy and …
Hi, Foggy is on his way to Melbourne to meet up with the Emerge Australia gang. He can’t wait to see the lovely people who help so many of the ME Community in Australia. While he is away from Foggy HQ, I am busy organising events, doing promotion, and the usual awesome Foggy stuff that …
Hi! I wrote a blog about M.E and work way back in 2014 when I was in full-time employment Work blog. How times have changed! At the time, I couldn’t be 100% truthful as to the full extent of my inability to do this library job as I didn’t want to lose my job! I left …
Hi, Foggy is snoring softly next to me in Foggy HQ so I thought I’d make the most of the peace and quiet and write a blog about the choices M.E sufferers make to make the most of the little energy they have. People living with M.E have limited energy; our energy can be represented …
Hi, It occurred to me this morning that I have been neglectful of Foggy’s Followers and I am really sorry about that. There are a couple of reasons for this – I have an appalling memory (surprise!) As Foggy has grown there are soooo many people to keep on my radar it is virtually impossible. …
My ME story has no clear start date, as I am one of the few where it seems to have developed slowly over time though, with hindsight, it is likely to have begun sometime during my early teens. Diagnosis was 30 years later, but with a noticeable increase in symptoms in the last decade. This …
Hi, Now this is going to a random blog post but it was inspired by watching The Rainmaker during a rest afternoon yesterday. Anyone who hasn’t seen this 1997 film, sorry but I’m going to spoil the ending for you! It struck me that there are similarities between John Grisham’s fictional tale and our real …
Hi, Yesterday, I attended a local International Women’s Day/Young Women’s Day event. I was taking part in speed meetings which gave girls aged 11-19 a chance to talk to ‘inspirational women’. I took Foggy along to show how I raise awareness of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E) and I think having a soft toy there helped them …
