This blog was inspired by a tweet I saw earlier today. The person who wrote the tweet was asking why more M.E patients weren’t involved in advocacy work and she commented how much more progress could be made if more patients got involved. Before I get started I should make it clear that nothing I …
If you are easily offended I would suggest that you don’t read this blog. M.E. and sex is the last taboo subject that I haven’t covered with ME Foggy Dog since we started in 2014. Purely because it is a very personal subject. However, it is an important topic that needs to be out in …
I was supposed to record my ‘own radio show’ with a local radio station today; the plan was for me to talk about the 15 songs (chosen by me) that define who I am today and what I do in my working life. I chose the songs a week ago (I won’t spoil the surprise …
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! 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.

Hi, I had a new symptom start around 6 months ago and, because of the infamous being ‘fobbed off’ incident, it was only investigated this week. Here’s what has been going on. I started to get pain in my right breast that could have been caused by any number of factors. I assumed it would …
Hello! Foggy is travelling to Christchurch, New Zealand and is surrounded by the bubbly loveliness that is first class (jiffy bag). To bide his time Foggy is going to tell you all about Sally’s issues with digestive problems. Sally has had problems with reactions to certain foods, bloating and discomfort (to name a few symptoms) her …
Hi, Payback is something that M.E/C.F.S. patients mention all the time, as a community we know what payback is and we don’t need to explain to each other how we are feeling.
