  • A printout I cannot read

    Gilly22 Feb 2025frustrated energy 1

    She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried…

  • A different shape

    Harlan22 Feb 2025foggy energy 1

    Recording this for the record. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved.…

  • The list on the fridge

    Inês22 Feb 2025steady energy 3

    Short one tonight. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant…

  • Dreams

    Kai22 Feb 2025foggy energy 4

    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 anything written about it.…

  • Grip

    Lu22 Feb 2025tired but good energy 1

    Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Grip strength has gone off and I…

  • Across the day

    Ollie22 Feb 2025steady energy 5

    A gentle week, mostly. Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Protein first, everything else after. It is not…

  • No news

    Ottoline22 Feb 2025fine energy 2

    An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then…

  • An unremarkable week

    Pippa22 Feb 2025steady energy 4

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the correct day for the eleventh week…

  • Into town and back

    Sam22 Feb 2025quietly delighted energy 3

    Notes for the week. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to check. Sat on the…

  • Somebody new

    Stellan22 Feb 2025warm energy 5

    Notes for the week. 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. Circle tonight.…

  • Somebody new

    Tinuke22 Feb 2025warm energy 1

    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. Went for the practical answers and…

  • Slept through

    Matt21 Feb 2025tired energy 2

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

  • Back without making it up

    Ashwin21 Feb 2025tired but good energy 5

    Three things this week. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Kept the…

  • Where the pen lives

    Bel21 Feb 2025organised energy 3

    Short one tonight. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar,…

  • Walking

    Bly21 Feb 2025tired but good energy 4

    Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for…

  • She reduced it

    Col21 Feb 2025heard energy 5

    She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Esme21 Feb 2025frustrated energy 4

    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…

  • Steady

    Gus21 Feb 2025steady energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The…

  • No mask

    Gwyneth21 Feb 2025tired energy 2

    The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying…

  • She read the diary

    Hattie21 Feb 2025brisk energy 2

    Short one tonight. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Asked the question I had been avoiding for…

  • Unpleasant, not dangerous

    Héloïse21 Feb 2025rough energy 3turning point

    Constipation, which I have avoided writing about for six weeks out of pure squeamishness. It is the thing making me most miserable and I have said nothing about it to…

  • Nothing to report

    Ives21 Feb 2025steady energy 2

    This week: No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the correct day for the eleventh week running. Steady. That is the…

  • Quiet

    Lark21 Feb 2025fine energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. 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…

  • Quiet

    Linnet21 Feb 2025fine energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. 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 people's boring weeks.…
