Hi, My British Columbian Foggy friend sent me the following info in response to my request for details of how dental work impacts M.E symptoms. Thanks Kristina. ‘My experience at the dentist prior to understanding about light and sound sensitivity… First of all I was exhausted and frazzled when I showed up. I had forgotten my …
Hi! So, I asked for help last week and many of you responded with your usual enthusiasm. Thank you. I received the message below from my M.E friend Ryn (I can’t believe that we met through Foggy and have only met in person once….she is a true friend now though xx) . It was much …
Hi! Foggy is on his way back to the UK after having great adventures in Thailand over the Christmas period. Thank you Kat and co for Foggy-sitting. He is off to Cape Town next…squeeeee. I have news. I withdrew from the School of Social Entrepreneurs (SSE) Programme just before Christmas. It was a very hard …
Hi, It’s nearly Christmas! Foggy is so excited in Thailand, I think he is driving Kat slightly crackers! In a recent blog, I said that for the first 8 or so years of my illness, I played down the severity of my symptoms and many of my friends didn’t realise M.E was a big deal. …
Hi, Well, it has certainly been an eventful 36 hours! I would like to apologise to my parents for wrecking their Sunday afternoon. We were all cosied up in our living room, all set for an afternoon of Christmas movies. I was having a payback day so was in the mood to be a sloth …
Hi! I’m sure I am not alone in that most of my friends do not live in the same city as me. I have 2 friends within a 5-mile radius of my house but most of my friends live at least 2 hours drive away. This means that, due to my health and their busy …
Hi, M.E sufferers are exceptionally good at micromanagement. We have to be, otherwise we would be constantly flat-lining. We have to plan our energy down to the minutest detail as we know just 5 minute of too much exertion could set us back for hours, if not days. As an example, I was supposed to …
Hi, Twice in a the past fortnight, I have been asked ‘what makes M.E so special?’. It has been pointed out to me that healthcare professionals don’t get trained on EVERYTHING at med school, and that they learn on the job. Fair points. I didn’t have enough energy to formulate a response at the time …
Hi, Since starting Foggy back in 2014, I have complained about having ‘M.E sore throats’. They kinda go along with the notion that M.E feels like having flu every single day as its baseline. Without waffling on about biology, it’s to do with having glands in that part of our body that flare up when …
Hi! Foggy’s paws are back in the UK but won’t be back in Foggy HQ until Tuesday. So much has been going on over the past 4-6 weeks I figured it made more sense to round it all up in one hit. Unrest It was an absolute honour to host a screening of this amazingly …
