I've developed a love for homemade Hummus.

The olive oil / chickpeas help with perimenopause stuff too.

Win - win! (Part of the losing weight stuff).

No - I am not doing weight-loss jabs (in case you were wondering!). I'm sensitive to too many chemicals/medications- too risky for me personally

I don't doubt it. Reform are getting backs up by saying the quiet part out loud. Factions of other parties will be saying this behind closed doors.

*Foggy* Stinky!!!

The upper part of my body is smothered in Deep Heat.

I smell like a rugby player....without the exertion.

Pain in my shoulder blade, neck, shoulder, upper arm still hasn't eased.

Heat pads and meds haven't worked so far.

How is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E) diagnosed?

There is no test but there are numerous diagnostic criterion available (some better/more scientifically rigorous/reliable than others) for clinicians to use to give a clinical diagnosis.

ME Foggy Dog prefers to use the M.E.

Donโ€™t Silence the Patient Voice: Why Abolishing Healthwatch is a Mistake Abolishing local Healthwatch is NOT a foregone conclusion โ€“ now is the time for MPs and national and local allies to defend independent public voice in health and care The NHS 10 year plan flโ€ฆ

I've read the NHS 10 year plan multiple times but completely missed this!

'They' want to abolish local Healthwatch.

Shake It UP - Formal Complaint re Negligence in Patient Safety | ME Foggy Dog Shake It Up demands the creation of a reporting system to report adverse events from non-pharmaceutical 'treatments'. This formal complaint is the next step.

Sent formal complaint in Feb re: ME/CFS treatment harms. Govt ignored 9K+ voices. Escalated to Ombudsman in April, they canโ€™t act unless Govt replies (how convenient ๐Ÿ™„). Still no response. Chasing again next week. #PatientSafety #MEcfs #NHS

'House-or-bedbound': Accurate Lived Experience, Not Offensive Language | ME Foggy Dog As we navigate the complex realities of energy-limiting conditions like M.E, we can sometimes find ourselves at the crossroads of language and lived experience

Repost of our blog written in June 2025 - www.mefoggydog.org/2025/06/09/h...

Context matters.

This is not offensive language when in an M.E context.
