M.E. Online Community

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 …

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis…..what?!

Hi, Shocking confession coming up……  When I started ME Foggy Dog I knew NOTHING about M.E. 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 …
