I'm slowly running out of zombie apocalypse films to watch.

Yes, my dogs beg for food! They'd do anything for a prawn cracker!

Medical historian here to remind you of the benefits of #vaccines!

This is the final stage of tetanus when nerves fire continuously & body contorts into agonizing posture known as opisthotonus. The mastication muscles clamp down to form the hallmark lockjaw.

A vaccine didn't appear until 1924.

I still have little idea what triggers PEM and what doesn't; why I can do something one time with no problems but the same thing another time floors me.
Never mind, there's always dogs!

A smiling sheltie

This beautiful girl is Rae, my 11 Yr old Sheltie. Her life now is a far cry from how it was 6 yrs ago due to my ME. We did agility, competing most weekends. She now has 2 x 1hr walks a day (I use a scooter) and she is happy as she's an older girl. Our dogs adapt as our energy changes.

Some #pwME avoid mobility aids as they worry about what people will say when they see them walking unaided. That people will think they're faking.
I use my scooter to walk my dogs and sometimes I don't. I've been accused of faking, but I use whatever means necessary to ensure my dogs' needs are met.

Nacho suits him much better than Hugo!

His name really suits him!

I wish my lot liked broccoli! Maggie is beautiful!
