  • A different shape

    Abel11 Mar 2025tired energy 2

    The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced.…

  • Steady

    Annika11 Mar 2025flat energy 5

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Enough for now.

  • Nine minutes

    Birdie11 Mar 2025frustrated energy 5

    Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Left with a printout I could not…

  • A wedding

    Espe11 Mar 2025awkward energy 2

    Evening. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can,…

  • Paired

    Fen11 Mar 2025held energy 1

    Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it.…

  • A different shape

    Florrie11 Mar 2025rested energy 5

    Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. The sleep has changed shape rather…

  • Laces

    Freya11 Mar 2025grateful energy 2

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the…

  • Awake at four

    Gavin11 Mar 2025foggy energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back and…

  • She noticed first

    Gigi11 Mar 2025held energy 4

    My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before.…

  • She noticed first

    Hattie11 Mar 2025held energy 5

    She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five…

  • Not writing about this would be dishonest

    Jonty11 Mar 2025flat energy 4

    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…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Marnie11 Mar 2025tired but good energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Patrick11 Mar 2025heard energy 5turning point

    A quiet 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. Blood pressure medication…

  • Grip

    Romy11 Mar 2025tired but good energy 1

    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 he is annoyingly…

  • What is your secret

    Solomon11 Mar 2025loved energy 1

    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 to be solved. Starters as a main…

  • Into town and back

    Tulla11 Mar 2025pleased energy 1

    This week: Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Winnie11 Mar 2025tired but good energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar…

  • Quiet

    Aleks10 Mar 2025flat energy 3

    Short one tonight. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory…

  • Two flights of stairs

    Cass10 Mar 2025pleased energy 4

    Recording this for the record. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me.…

  • Unpleasant, not dangerous

    Col10 Mar 2025sore energy 4turning point

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling…

  • Quiet

    Ray10 Mar 2025flat energy 3

    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. I nearly did not…

  • Two lines a day

    Harri10 Mar 2025organised energy 5

    Notes for the week. 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.…
