What is going on with your skin, hair or nails?

It comes up constantly and nobody starts the conversation. — asked by Tomás

EphraimBrooklyn, NY

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

The burping. Nobody puts it in the leaflet and it is one of the odder experiences of my adult life.

4

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

OskarWarsaw, PL

Cramp in both calves twice this week. Mentioned it. Having bloods rather than being told to eat a banana.

6

ObieNashville, TN

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

7

CormacWaterford, IE

Sore throat and a cold, entirely unrelated, and it flattened me more than it should have.

9

Dara Take the win. Quietly if you like, but take it.

AriaAuckland, NZ

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

7

Hannah I have read your last few weeks and you are doing more than you think.

IvesPenzance, UK

Everything quiet. Week 93 and I have very little to report, which is the best kind of entry.

Orrin That question is the one I keep failing to ask. Writing it down.

SaskiaThe Hague, NL

Nothing worth mentioning, which after nine months I have stopped finding suspicious.

Cramp in both calves twice this week. Mentioned it. Having bloods rather than being told to eat a banana.

Holly Would you bring that to circle on Sunday? You would not have to say much.

OdileMontreal, CA

Two weeks of feeling wrong that turned out to be a thyroid dose needing adjusting.

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

MintaColchester, UK

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

Clemmie Boring wins are the real ones.

TiernanOmagh, NI

A rash that was the plaster, not the medicine.
