I read the first entry, but have forgotten what conditions she has...
Type One Brittle Asthma (BA), Myalgic Encephalopathy (M.E), Fibromyalgia (FMS), Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD), Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) & Vestibular Dysfunction
Why does she make people read the first entry before she lets them go on her friends list?
In the past people have been shocked and not wanted to get involved once they knew what was wrong with her, so now she makes sure people are informed BEFORE they click the button to add her as a friend.
Who's B and Darla?
B = best friend, carer, slave, house keeper or whatever hat she choses to wear today, but don't worry folks she gets paid for the work she does to help Joey out around the house and out and about.
Darla = B's daughter and Joey's God daughter. She's thirteen and growing up fast!
Does she have any pets?
She has two cats, Miss Penne who is eight and Miss Spaghetti (Hetti) who is four. They are her children, mock them and die in a fire that she set. They have two house-mates Miss Violet and Mr Dash, both of whom are three and belong to Joey's carer and house-mate B. They have their own journal at

The Fibroduck Foundation, which are a UK charity raising awareness and funds for research into Fibromyalgia. You can buy the song on Amazon & iTunes, as well as the Fibroduck Foundation website. She had a lot of help in making the song a single from her friends Kim and Anders. They decided to try and record an album and formed the band - The Rocking Dodars. You can find their website
here. At the moment, they have one song completed and plan to redo "It Hurts To Be Me" as they know more and have better equipment. Joey provides vocals and Ukulele.
Does Joey do anything like a job or something?
Technically, Joey is "medically retired" and has been since she was 19 and fell ill with M.E (and possibly FMS too). However, she writes her books, she did her honours degree and may do a Masters, she does the music with her band and she also volunteers for The Fibroduck Foundation as a "writer ducky". She fully supports The Fibroduck Foundation and aims to help them reach their first research goal of £26,000 - just £24,000 to go!
