Hi, Twice in a the past fortnight, I have been asked ‘what makes M.E so special?’. It has been pointed out to me that healthcare professionals don’t get trained on EVERYTHING at med school, and that they learn on the job. Fair points. I didn’t have enough energy to formulate a response at the time …
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 …
Hello! Sally is going to attempt to write about the difference between Fibromyalgia and ME/CFS. The illnesses are very similar and often get confused…here goes!

Morning, Before creating ME Foggy Dog I was clueless about the illness, despite being a sufferer myself. After 3 years of tests and being given the run-around, I was given the label I had been seeking…I finally knew what was wrong with me!! A locum had been so blase about the illness that I didn’t …

Well, nothing apart from my own personal symptoms, many of which had never been explained by doctors as being part of M.E. I went through seven years of suffering and not having a clue what was happening or what …
Hi, I wrote this blog back in 2015, in it I explain how technology, phones and social media, is draining. My life has changed significantly since then so I am going to explain how technology affects my life now. I have my own business…wooo get me! (Update – Business closed in Sept 2018 to set up …
Hello, Sometimes, reading other people’s accounts of their M.E experience is like reading a foreign language. In the 10 years since my diagnosis, I have only ever received a CBT referral. Despite having a wide range of symptoms, for which there are specialists, I have never been referred. So when other M.E sufferers talk about …
Hi, How many of us have visited chiropractors, dentists, physios etc and been fobbed off with ‘Of course that happens, it’s your M.E’? It’s happened to me hundreds of times! I’m writing this blog because it seems bizarre to me that we are always being told that the healthcare profession either doesn’t believe it’s a …
Hi, This post is about a visit to my dentist yesterday, I felt fine when I arrived at the dental surgery but half an hour of sitting in a waiting room that was so bright it was as if it had come from the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, I felt as if …
