Hi, I have a very painful right side of my body and no doctor has ever been able to put their finger on what caused it or why it has been long-term pain. Let me explain. I had skin cancer back in 2012, it was a very ‘not bad-looking mole’ that didn’t look quite right …
Hi, The subject of loneliness is a hot topic at the moment. MPs are getting involved, many local cafes in Portsmouth are holding ‘Loneliness dining’ for people who need support and some company. The subjects of inclusion and loneliness made me think about how M.E affects us in terms of loneliness. I wrote a blog …

She has brain fog today so this could be interesting! Love Foggy xx Hi, Since Foggy started in 2014, I have made no secret of the fact that biology is …
Hello! Sally is being weird this week. Her sleep pattern is all over the place. Over the past week, her numbers of hours of sleep at night has gone: 8, 3, 6. 10, 3, 8, to 5 hrs tonight. Crackers! I have told her to write a blog about it…here it is….. Ugh (translated that …

Hi, Foggy wants to learn everything there is to know about M.E. I wrote about periods a couple of years back and so now, with my advancing years (I’m 41 in 2 weeks!! EEK), it seems appropriate to move on to the menopause. Sorry chaps, you might want to stop reading if you aren’t in touch …
Morning! So, ME Foggy Dog got its name because of the M.E./C.F.S. symptom brain fog. That feeling of having to get thoughts through a cotton wool brain before being able to do anything with them.
