  • Steady

    Ned24 Dec 2024flat energy 2

    Late, and writing anyway. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Aye.

  • Both bags, one go

    Rin24 Dec 2024pleased energy 2

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…

  • Laces

    Ozzy24 Dec 2024quietly delighted energy 5

    Well then. 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 got up.…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Rilla24 Dec 2024organised energy 2turning point

    Quick one. 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. Solved cold storage…

  • No news

    Romy24 Dec 2024flat energy 2

    Short one tonight. Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a…

  • Two sessions

    Stellan24 Dec 2024tired but good energy 5

    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…

  • Quiet

    Tavia24 Dec 2024steady energy 1

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

  • Off the floor

    Anna23 Dec 2024pleased energy 1

    A brief account of the week. 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. Walked into town…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Noah23 Dec 2024tired but good energy 2

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

  • A rough few days

    Poppy23 Dec 2024rough energy 1turning point

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…

  • She read the diary

    Ash23 Dec 2024brisk energy 3

    Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Took the diary in. She read it…

  • Standing in the kitchen

    Cato23 Dec 2024wired energy 5turning point

    I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. Three sentences, all useful. I want to…

  • Stayed for the company

    Esme23 Dec 2024warm energy 3

    The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour. Went for the…

  • The first one

    Mo23 Dec 2024nervous energy 3turning point

    Three things this week. 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…

  • No mask

    Moray23 Dec 2024tired 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.…

  • Nine minutes

    Ottoline23 Dec 2024heard energy 1turning point

    Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. Enormous difference. She…

  • First dose, done

    Romy23 Dec 2024wired energy 5turning point

    Late, and writing anyway. I want to write this down before I forget how frightened I was, because I suspect in three months I will not believe it. Twenty minutes of…

  • An unremarkable week

    Ruthie23 Dec 2024flat energy 2

    A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Next paper Sunday.

  • She noticed first

    Saoirse23 Dec 2024held energy 1

    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 before I…

  • Circle tonight

    Sara23 Dec 2024warm energy 2

    Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the…

  • She noticed first

    Zeb23 Dec 2024held energy 1

    Week in order: 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…

  • Day one

    Zoë23 Dec 2024hopeful energy 3

    I want to write this down before I forget how frightened I was, because I suspect in three months I will not believe it. Twenty minutes of standing there. Then eight…

  • Standing in the kitchen

    Bruno22 Dec 2024wired energy 1turning point

    So. First one done. I had been carrying the box around the house for four days like it was something I had borrowed and needed to give back, and in the end I did it…

  • Across the day

    Fen22 Dec 2024steady energy 5

    This week: Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached…
