Hello, It is incredibly difficult to describe how debilitating and life changing M.E. is to a non-sufferer. Foggy thinks that having a range of sufferers ‘guest blog’ with individual stories will show the wide range of symptoms and levels of suffering. This particular blog is written by Lisa who has severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E). Here …
Hello! Foggy has asked a handful of M.E. sufferers to write a blog post so that readers can see/understand how varied and wide ranging M.E. can be. He has chosen someone from each of these areas: Young, severe and ‘recovered’ to tell their story. This blog post is written by an 18 year old young …

She should always try and keep her energy battery half full. ME sufferers never have a …

He hummed ‘Flying Without Wings’ throughout the entire journey…..not that he could really be heard from inside his globetrotting travel bag! A lovely lady agreed to take Foggy up with her …

Hello! I’m hijacking Foggy’s blog again! Now, I know that it is crazy to say there is anything remotely positive to be said about M.E. BUT, this weekend made me realise that there are some good things to be said for enforced chilling out as much as possible. This is what happened… I went to …
