What is your body asking for that you have been ignoring?

Water, sleep, a GP appointment, a sit down. Usually one of those four. — asked by Tomás

AnnaAthens, GR

Hair. Month four. I know it is common and I am not being reasonable about it this week.

Ossie A three-week buffer is such a sensible thing to arrange. Noting it.

SaoirseKilkenny, IE

Dizzy standing up twice, badly enough that I sat down on the pavement. Dehydration. Fixed with actual water.

Skin has been better, which nobody mentions as a possibility.

Ottavia Your pharmacist sounds like a good one. They are the most underused people in the whole system.

PipBristol, UK

Reflux, mildly, and only when I lie down too soon after eating. Manageable.

IlyaAlmaty, KZ

Vision felt off for a day. Optician the same week, sent straight on, all clear.

Saff Toast is a perfectly good answer and always has been.

BlueStroud, UK

Sulphur burps. I have learned a phrase I did not want.

Reflux disease properly investigated at last, after a year of being told to raise the bed.

5

ZenBristol, UK

Stomach cramps I did not like the shape of, so I rang. Told to be seen the same day. It was fine.

6

OllyReading, UK

A firm lump at the injection site for about ten days. Pharmacist unbothered. Moving further round next time.

BrunoMilan, IT

Everything quiet. Week 60 and I have very little to report, which is the best kind of entry.

Tavita That is a good one. Thank you for putting it down.

NolwennRennes, FR

Nausea reliably Thursday teatime to Saturday afternoon. Once I could see the pattern it stopped feeling random.

7

OrsolyaBudapest, HU

Headache for three days and then I realised I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday.

8

Esme I hope Thursday goes well. Come back and tell us.

BethanPontypridd, UK

A firm lump at the injection site for about ten days. Pharmacist unbothered. Moving further round next time.

Pádraig Thank you for the boring week. Genuinely.

CallaWellington, NZ

Cold hands constantly. Bloods normal. Nobody knows and I have stopped worrying about it.

Tilly Say the true answer more often. It seems to work.

LeniLeipzig, DE
