Nothing to report
Ozzyflat energy 2
Well then. 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. Steady. That…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Raviheld energy 2
Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the…
Grip
Rillatired but good energy 4
Quick one. 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. Two sessions this…
I have started
Solomonwired energy 1turning point
Week in order: I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. Ordered four private…

Lenaheld energy 4
Recording this for the record. 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…
The pattern of it
Birdiesore energy 3
Evening. Sore at the injection site for about ten days, a small firm lump under the skin. The pharmacist looked at it, was unbothered, and told me to move further…
She noticed first
Blyheld 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. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five…
Laces
Bopleased energy 4
Short one tonight. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Tide…
Come back in a year
Rayrelieved energy 3turning point
Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. A1c down. He said it was probably a lab error. A1c down. I looked at the number for a…
Nine minutes
Juniperfrustrated energy 4
Well then. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. A locum who had clearly…
Starters as a main
Larkwarm energy 2
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
The bad fortnight
Nedsore energy 5
Short one tonight. A rough few days. Not dangerous, just relentlessly unpleasant, the kind of unwell where you cannot read and cannot sleep and cannot settle to…
A new bin and a plan
Nixorganised energy 5
Recording this for the record. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…
An unremarkable week
Pruefine energy 2
A brief account of the week. Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks…
Nothing to report
Ruthiesteady energy 2
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Next paper Sunday.
The pattern of it
Tansysore energy 2turning point
Well then. Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling faintly stupid.…
She reduced it
Taviaheard energy 3
Evening. 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 question I had…
Two lengths, badly
Tobiasgrateful energy 2
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. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat.…

Rohansteady energy 3
Recording this for the record. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of…
A printout I cannot read
Ambrosebrisk energy 5
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. Nine minutes. I took three written questions…
Not writing about this would be dishonest
Gavinflat energy 4
Short one tonight. 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…
Standing in the kitchen
Harlanwired energy 3turning point
What I keep coming back to is how long it took me to get here. Not the medication — the asking. Years of that. A first entry about altitude. The pharmacist talked me…
Paired
Harriheld energy 4
Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing…
