Hello! Halloween is Foggy’s SECOND favourite time of the year! (Christmas is his first favourite… OBVIOUSLY) We have always marked the occasion in one way or another and this year we’d love YOU to join in! We won’t be asking for any donations, or expecting anyone to spend any money on materials to be able …
Hi, This blog is an update to – Blood donation, M.E and Long Covid. The key theme of my concerns with this issue was summed up with this paragraph in the email sent to Stephen Morgan MP (see previous blog) – ‘I strongly believe there needs to be a nationwide communication strategy about M.E and …
Hi, I was struck by a thunderbolt about a week ago, or at least that’s what it felt like and I’ll admit that it caused me to be a little bit upset. What am I waffling on about? I have been raising funds for Cure ME/MECFS biobank with fundraising and business activities with ME Foggy …
Hi, Long-time Foggy Followers will know that I have been posting about donating blood whilst living with M.E since around 2015, in fact I created this image in 2015 and it is shared fairly regularly across Foggy’s social media channels.

Hello! It has been soooo long since I last went adventuring that I’ve asked my P.A to refresh your memory about how my ‘adventures’ usually work. This year, things are on a much smaller scale due to the ongoing pandemic. My adventures are limited to the UK because my P.A says having to work around …
I am sick to death of seeing the misappropriation and/or misrepresentation of ‘brain fog’. This week, Nancy Pelosi has said Putin’s behaviour could be explained by ‘brain fog’ or cancer. ‘Brain fog’ is a nightmare for someone to deal with and can make thinking coherently very difficult but it does not turn someone into a …
Hi, I’ll start off by admitting that I have lost my way a little bit with my advocacy over the past two years. In this blog, I’ll explain how and why I am trying hard to get back to where I was but as an improved newer version! When I first started ME Foggy Dog …
Hi, I don’t know about you but, for me, 2021 flew by! I’ve not kept track of what month we are in throughout the entire year! It’s all been very same-y and seasons have all blended from one to the other. I haven’t had the usual Foggy ‘milestones’ to judge where I’m at. This is …
