Hello! Foggy is enjoying his well-earned break in Foggy HQ and while he is snoring I thought I’d write this blog to tell you how I have been health-wise to since the last campaign ended. My ‘vertigo’ lasted 3 and a half months before it was finally diagnosed as chronic migraines. Which is EXACTLY what …
Hi, Throughout Foggy’s life I have made a point of saying I am lucky enough to not suffer from M.E./C.F.S chronic pain. However, things have started to change over the past 3 months. I am currently undergoing tests and physio to try to deal with an extremely painful right arm. RSI, Carpal Tunnel and Tendonitis …
Hello, I have been pondering why M.E. doesn’t have celebrity advocates like other illnesses do. Every charity has ambassadors that do their utmost to raise the profile of the charity at every given opportunity.

Hello, Before M.E I had a challenging career I loved, socialised regularly with family & friends, rode my pushbike & rambled miles for fun, played a very hands-on role with my grandchildren, rarely sat down to watch t.v preferring to garden, clean the car or do housework. I rarely slowed down! Almost three years ago …
Hi, This blog is going to address how newly diagnosed M.E sufferers will not have a clue about what is about to hit them like a freight train. I was diagnosed after 3 years of tests and being given the run around by doctors. The life altering diagnosis was given to me by a locum doctor. …
Hi, I have always promoted the fact that M.E can affect anyone, anywhere on the globe. It does not discriminate against race, religion, age, sexual orientation or gender. I have frequently asked sufferers and support networks to write Foggy a blog post of their own personal experience of M.E. I want to make sure I …
Hi, I have made a rare trip out of my house this morning to get some admin done. My dad (thanks Dad – I still can’t drive because of dizziness) drove me into town and I went into my bank branch for an appointment. The woman in front of me had a walking stick, she …
