  • No news

    Dilly10 Feb 2025steady energy 4

    Evening. 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. I nearly did not write…

  • A new bin and a plan

    Gigi10 Feb 2025organised energy 1

    Evening. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Anchored injection day to my…

  • Laces

    Harlan10 Feb 2025pleased energy 2

    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. Got down on the floor and back up again…

  • Quiet

    Harri10 Feb 2025steady energy 1

    Recording this for the record. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been…

  • Two lines a day

    Huw10 Feb 2025pleased energy 5turning point

    This 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. Solved the…

  • Two lines a day

    Lark10 Feb 2025pleased energy 4turning point

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Worked out…

  • Both bags, one go

    Lu10 Feb 2025pleased energy 2turning point

    Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Got through a full nursery day without her back going. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I…

  • A locum

    Maryam10 Feb 2025heard energy 2turning point

    Notes for the week. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Asked her own GP the…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Ned10 Feb 2025held energy 4

    My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be…

  • Paired

    Norah10 Feb 2025held energy 3

    Right. 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. My buddy noticed something in my journal…

  • My mother cooks

    Salma10 Feb 2025warm energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Starters as a main course, permanently. No…

  • Awake at four

    Sam10 Feb 2025rested energy 5

    Recording this for the record. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Waking at four again.…

  • Unremarkable

    Solomon10 Feb 2025pleased energy 1turning point

    Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. Learned the difference between a trend and a wobble. Iron and B12 both…

  • First dose, done

    Soraya10 Feb 2025hopeful energy 3turning point

    Late, and writing anyway. The pharmacist talked me through it very fast and I nodded at all of it and retained about a third. I have written down the bits I remember…

  • Nine minutes

    Wystan10 Feb 2025heard energy 3

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered.…

  • Awake at four

    Bel9 Feb 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…

  • Across the day

    Bodhi9 Feb 2025steady energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Spread it across the day…

  • My mother cooks

    Bunny9 Feb 2025warm energy 4

    Evening. A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. Somebody asked what…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Cass9 Feb 2025frustrated energy 5

    Notes for the week. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Asked the…

  • No mask

    Gavin9 Feb 2025tired energy 3

    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.…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Holly9 Feb 2025grateful energy 4turning point

    Short one tonight. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Joint pain much better. She credits the oestrogen and says so. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the…

  • Steady

    Kai9 Feb 2025steady energy 5

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most…

  • No news

    Nadia9 Feb 2025fine energy 4

    Week in order: An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul,…

  • A different shape

    Rin9 Feb 2025tired energy 3

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…
