Posted on July 27, 2016 by Fainting Goat

WOO!! So not only did the Blog make the long list finalists for Best Health and Lifestyle Blog in The Irish Blog Awards 2016, but also one of my blog posts, ‘The Good, The Bad and the Emergency‘, made it onto the the long list for Best Blog Post!!

I am delighted and I have you all to thank for adding your entries for the blog! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it 🙂 From here on, as far as I know, The blogs will now be judged by a panel and then those who make it onto the shortlist may need to get votes for the remainder of the judging so if I ever even make it that far, I may be back to ask for some votes! :p

For now, Thank You all once again and I will keep you posted on how everything goes 🙂 ❤

Youtube Live Chat (Just an Idea!)

Posted on July 19, 2015 by Fainting Goat

Hi folks,

This is only a seed of a thought at the minute, but I was wondering…

If I were to do maybe a monthly live Youtube chat, where I answer all your questions after researching proper answers and I will provide links and references for further reading etc. Or perhaps have guests on in relation to Dysautonomia and EDS etc. if I can find them, would you watch it?

How it works is,

I provide a date and time that suits the masses using a blog post or Facebook Event Page.
You post questions into the post for me (Or possible guest) to research to give you the best possible sourced answer I can. (I won’t accept made up or woo-woo answers, my peeps only get the best!)
I research all the answers to the questions and on the live chat date I will present them while possibly sharing my desktop screen.
You get your sourced answers and I learn also along the way, not to mention you might get to watch my ugly mug on the video too! :p
There is a live typed chat that people can take part in during the live feed and I will do my best to involve and interact with everyone.

That’s the idea… Do you think you would watch and take part in something like that? I would like to be sure I would have viewers before I put the effort in! 🙂

Please let me know below, Thank you 🙂

Doing Well These Days!

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Fainting Goat

Finally feeling good after a rough Christmas, here is a video I did last week when I finally got out of the house for a walk through The Clare Glens near our home, it was wonderful to get out for a change and I have managed more days out and some of them even included work days, so YEAY!!! Lets hope this continues, but as we all know with Dysautonomia, you take each day as it comes so I am just enjoying this while I can 🙂 Please tell me how you guys are doing and if there are any questions, please just ask here or over on the other Irish Dysautonomia Awareness links on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube!

A Fainting Goat Merchandise fund raising shop will be up and running very soon too, here is a quick pic of some of what will be on offer, there will be Womens and Mens apparel available in a wide variety of colours and sizes with high quality printing on both front and back as well as bags, hats and teddies! All profits on all items will go straight to fundraising and donated to a charitable cause related to Dysautonomia.
