Standing in the kitchen
Bodhiwired energy 4turning point
Nothing has happened yet, which nobody had warned me about. I think I expected to feel something immediately, and instead I made a cup of tea and put a wash on. A…
No mask
Bunnyrested energy 1
The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up…
Iron and B12
Carlpleased energy 1turning point
Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. A1c down for the first time in four years.…
Slept through
Devrested energy 1
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…
I have started
Freyahopeful energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. What I keep coming back to is how long it took me to get here. Not the medication — the asking. Years of that. So. First one done. I had…
Dreams
Gillyfoggy energy 2
Right. 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. Repeat study came back and…
Nine minutes
Linnetfrustrated energy 1
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. A locum who had clearly…
Protein first
Marniesteady energy 5
A quiet week. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I own. Greek…
Nothing to report
Nedsteady energy 5
A quiet week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Aye.
I nearly did not write
Olliefine energy 1
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. Quiet. Injection…
First dose, done
Stellanwired energy 1
Notes for the week. Day one. I am writing this partly because somebody else's day-one entry is the reason I felt able to do it at all, and it seems only fair to leave…
Paired
Tullaheld energy 4
This week: Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. My buddy noticed something in…
Circle tonight
Wilfwarm energy 5
This week: Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. The facilitator stopped the room when four of…
Propped up on pillows
Annasore energy 2turning point
A brief account of the week. A rough few days. Not dangerous, just relentlessly unpleasant, the kind of unwell where you cannot read and cannot sleep and cannot…
She stopped the room
Bertiewarm energy 2
Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring.…
The question I had been avoiding
Blyheard energy 1
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…
Beginning, badly
Cloverhopeful energy 2
Nothing has happened yet, which nobody had warned me about. I think I expected to feel something immediately, and instead I made a cup of tea and put a wash on. So.…
A locum
Fenfrustrated energy 5
Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three…
She noticed first
Flossieheld energy 3
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. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a…
Walking
Gavintired but good energy 5
A quiet 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. Eight minutes and a…
Awake at four
Gwendarested energy 1
This week: Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there…
Quiet
Pamsteady energy 3
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. An unremarkable week. Ate,…
Anchored to the shifts
Noahorganised energy 1
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. Two lines a day in a…
The first one
Ashwinwired energy 5turning point
Week in order: Day one. I am writing this partly because somebody else's day-one entry is the reason I felt able to do it at all, and it seems only fair to leave one…
