Hi, Sorry I haven’t posted an update for a while but other than emailing Steve Barclay MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, and sharing information about the petition left, right, and centre, I haven’t had anything to report. Until now. I wrote to the Care Quality Commission (ENGLAND) on the 15th November …
In just two weeks’ time, I turn 45. 45. Where did those years go?! My head still thinks I am 29 in my pre-M.E healthy body judging by the ridiculous non-M.E friendly things it still wants to do! My family have always been very open about all topics and the craziness and unusualness of the …
*Foggy* Hi! This year, Team Foggy will be taking part in our 7th M.E Awareness Week since we became AWESOME! (ME Foggy Dog was launched in July 2014). This year, my P.A will be hosting a virtual ‘International M.E Awareness Day’ event. It’ the first time she’s ever hosted an event on Zoom so it …
Hi, Foggy’s Followers on his social media platforms will have seen that I closed Foggy’s World Tour 2019/2020 yesterday due to issues brought about the COVID-19. Watch this video. eeks ago when travel bans and cancelled holidays/business trips started to cause problems with Foggy’s globetrotting. But, as the pandemic worsened I felt it would no …
I’d like to start with an apology, because this probably isn’t going to be as eloquent as I would like and that’s because the ‘brain fog’ which M.E. sufferers know so well is one of my worst symptoms. For me, it’s less like a fog and more of a complete sense of mental disorientation which …
Getting a diagnosis of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis often takes years. My own diagnosis took well over 2 years and I have spoken virtually to sufferers who waited decades. This is partly due to a lack of awareness and knowledge of M.E within the medical profession – some of whom doubt that M.E is a ‘real’ illness. …
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 …
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. Stripy Lightbulb launches on 27th March and my deadline to get stuff done is looming! I’ve also had a number …
