Apologies, I have had to take my eye off the M.E. ball for the past 6 days. I have been doing the bare minimum for Foggy and I feel bad for it. As you may or may not be aware, my dad has been exceptionally ill since Monday and his diagnosis required ambulances, A & …
Hi, Foggy is in Tuscany! He had his first plane flight of this World Tour yesterday and loved every minute…I’m sure his tail will have wagged throughout the journey….;) This blog post was inspired by a Sunday afternoon chat I had with my Mum about our thoughts and guilt about the possible causes of my …
Hi, This blog will hopefully address the issue of M.E sufferers bearing children. Let me begin by saying that I consider myself to be exceptionally lucky; I have never had a maternal bone in my body and so having M.E is not a deciding factor in whether I have children or not. I have never …
