About me (not ME)

jfqpiggy4I am a scientist and have worked in various universities in the UK as a researcher. I wanted to do this blog because I believe that it’s only through top-quality biomedical research that we’re going to get to the bottom of ME/CFS, and get treatments that work.

 

I’ve had ME on and off for many years and am currently out of commission, but nevertheless good for blogging. I am a coughty-something year old woman and live in the South-West of England. For the purposes of this blog, my name is Zonko – a word I chose at random to set up the site, can’t remove, and now find is the name of the proprietor of the joke shop near Hogwarts. Nose-biting teacup, anyone?

Just Four Quid

jfqpiggy4I offer a new moneysaving tip each week and you donate part of any saving direct to biomedical research charitiesME Research UK and/or the ME Association's Ramsay Research Fund via theirJustgiving.com pages or by mail or phone to their offices.
