Quiet
Ashwinsteady energy 5
Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of the whole thing. An unremarkable…
A printout I cannot read
Bexbrisk energy 5
Quickly, before bed. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. Took the diary in. She…
She reduced it
Brunoheard energy 1
Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which…
I nearly did not write
Fensteady energy 2
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Flat again. Good.
Anchored to the shifts
Freyaorganised energy 1
Quickly, before bed. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Two lines a day in a paper diary.…
Sunday night, four lines
Gwenheld energy 3
Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing…
Grip
Hannahtired but good energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Two sessions this…
I nearly did not write
Mossfine energy 3
An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it.…
An hour on the floor
Nixpleased energy 5
Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing.…
I liked it before
Saoirsetired of it energy 2turning point
I liked my body before, actually, and I resent the assumption that I could not have. A hard month, handled in the body-image circle. Somebody said I looked well and…

Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of the whole thing. Steady. That is…
Both bags, one go
Soniaquietly delighted energy 4
Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Tied my own laces standing up. I…
Quiet
Tarnsteady energy 4
This week: Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of the whole thing.…
A wedding
Taviawarm energy 2
Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Starters as a main course, permanently. No explanation…
It is coming back
Theaquiet energy 5turning point
A brief account of the week. The hum is back, quieter. I panicked when it started returning and Jonah pointed out, mildly, that nobody had promised it was permanent.…
Unpleasant, not dangerous
Tildasore energy 4turning point
Week in order: Cramp in both calves in the night, twice this week. Mentioned it and had bloods done rather than being told to eat a banana, which I appreciated.…
Somebody new
Tobywarm energy 2
Quickly, before bed. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. The…
I nearly did not write
Katefine energy 3turning point
Right. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. A long quiet spring with nothing to report, recorded anyway. An…
A new bin and a plan
Abelorganised energy 4
A brief account of the week. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. New…
The bad fortnight
Ammisore energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it…
No news
Callafine energy 4
A quiet week. Steady. That is the whole entry. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of other…
Eight minutes and a chair
Gigitired but good energy 1
Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two…
Iron and B12
Gwynethrelieved energy 2
Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference…
Steady
Heddasteady energy 3
Notes for the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Done.
