  • Walking

    Sara5 Apr 2025tired but good energy 5

    A gentle week, mostly. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Wystan5 Apr 2025organised energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision.…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Ambrose4 Apr 2025organised energy 1

    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. Two…

  • No mask

    Bo4 Apr 2025rested energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Cass4 Apr 2025steady energy 1

    Recording this for the record. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Got something…

  • Not writing about this would be dishonest

    Cato4 Apr 2025sore energy 2

    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 stopped feeling like…

  • Starters as a main

    Clemmie4 Apr 2025awkward energy 3

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem…

  • No mask

    Dev4 Apr 2025rested energy 3

    Recording this for the record. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find…

  • Quiet

    Gil4 Apr 2025fine energy 4

    Recording this for the record. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on…

  • The bad fortnight

    Ives4 Apr 2025sore energy 1turning point

    This week: Sore at the injection site for about ten days, a small firm lump under the skin. The pharmacist looked at it, was unbothered, and told me to move further…

  • I told her

    Kai4 Apr 2025low energy 5

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Therapy alongside this has been the useful part. The medication changed the volume; the therapy is doing the work. Told my…

  • No mask

    Maple4 Apr 2025foggy energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Moray4 Apr 2025pleased energy 2

    Well then. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then got up. That was the entire reason I started, and I have now done it. Carried both bags up in one go.…

  • Quiet

    Ned4 Apr 2025fine energy 4

    A quiet week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Aye.

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Petua4 Apr 2025organised energy 5

    Late, and writing anyway. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Anchored…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Ravi4 Apr 2025organised energy 3

    Notes for the week. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Tested three cool bags against a…

  • Walking

    Ronan4 Apr 2025tired but good energy 3turning point

    Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Back lifting twice a week. Came back after a…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Soraya4 Apr 2025pleased energy 5

    Short one tonight. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Sorrel4 Apr 2025organised energy 3

    Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. Batch cooked on a good…

  • Grip

    Stellan4 Apr 2025tired but good energy 3

    Recording this for the record. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Two sessions this week, both short, both…

  • Two lines a day

    Tinuke4 Apr 2025organised energy 2

    Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. New sharps bin, and a plan for what…

  • Walking

    Matt3 Apr 2025tired but good energy 1

    This week: Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Bertie3 Apr 2025brisk energy 5

    A brief account of the week. 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. Asked the…
