My memory has been so damaged by Myalgic Encephalomyelitis that I rarely remember anything long enough to gossip about it. I personally experience different forms of memory loss. I don’t remember much of my childhood, I’m not sure which bout of M.E. caused that, I had M.E. in my teenage years too, but I can’t …
Some of us remember when our ‘chronic’ illness started whilst others got ill over time. I can remember down to the hour when my M.E. ‘journey’ began. My last ‘well’ day was November 17th 2006, it also happened to be the day I graduated from University. The day when I felt unbeatable and on top …
Hello! 15 days to launch! As long-term Foggy Followers will know, I like to have defined year-long campaigns with a start and an end point. This is so that donors don’t get donation fatigue but also so that we can set targets for Foggy. Previous campaigns have made me realise something about myself, I don’t …
Good morning Foggy Followers! You know when, in the UK, the weather people say ‘don’t forget that you’ll lose an hour’s sleep tonight because of the clocks going forward?’. They could have told my body that, losing one hour’s sleep would have been lovely! Instead, I was awake at 01:57 (old time)….*sob*. I’m making the …
Hello, I mentioned this subject in today’s FogPod podcast, the past week has been particularly concerning and upsetting for not only myself but many others within the M.E./C.F.S. community.

Hello! It’s been a week with lots of rest at Foggy HQ. I’ve had an additional muggle infection and the antibiotic treatment certainly took it out of me. This means I’ll be working this weekend. Stripy Lightbulb launches on 27th March and my deadline to get stuff done is looming! I’ve also had a number …
Hello! Foggy and I have just enjoyed a lazy and very sleepy Sunday afternoon. He has just fallen off BED in excitement after seeing a Red Squirrel on Countryfile. While he is feeling sorry for himself and sulking, I am writing this blog in the peace and quiet! Do you watch Grace and Frankie on Netflix? …
Hello! Foggy is bouncing up and down on the sofa so I’ve left him to it and come upstairs to BED. A Spotify playlist is playing softly next to me and I’m leaning against pillows as I type this. It struck me earlier that I haven’t written a blog for a while so I have …
Hi! I’ve been away from work for nearly 2 weeks for the Christmas and New Year period. I had planned on relaxing and recharging my batteries ready for a busy 2019. However, I got a muggle bug (that’s a non-M.E. person virus) and spent 5 days wilting in my bed. Hardly recharging! I am now up …
*Foggy* 4 sleeps to go! Foggy is so excited about Santa visiting Foggy HQ on Christmas Eve, he is doing his utmost to be on the good side of the naughty and nice list. On the other hand, I am feeling a bit meh about Christmas this year. I have put up the usual tree, …
