The limits of yoghurt
Flossiesteady energy 2
Evening. 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 the rest…
Two lines a day
Izzyorganised energy 3
Right. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it…
I nearly did not write
Kezsteady energy 2
Quickly, before bed. Steady. That is the whole entry. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out…
No mask
Lufoggy energy 5
Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…
Not properly consulted
Sararesolved energy 4turning point
My prescriber stopped it and I do not think I was properly consulted. I am going to say that at the next appointment. Stopped at week nine because of reflux she did…
My mother cooks
Bealoved energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. 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.…
Protein first
Gussteady energy 2
Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question…
Steady
Harristeady energy 2
Notes for the 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. I nearly did…
The first one
Saoirsenervous energy 1turning point
Sitting down to this properly tonight. 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…
Nothing to report
Lenafine energy 1
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my…
Slept through
Minatired energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Slept through. Whole night,…
Off the floor
Bertiequietly delighted energy 2
Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it…
Propped up on pillows
Esmesore energy 4turning point
Evening. The burping. Nobody mentions the burping. It is not in any leaflet and it is genuinely one of the odder experiences of my adult life. Mild. Sore at the…
Two sessions
Gillytired but good energy 5
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 chair. That…
Circle tonight
Ikewarm energy 2
Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of…
An unremarkable week
Marnieflat energy 3
Late, and writing anyway. 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…
I nearly did not write
Nixflat energy 2
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…
Sore and slow
Ottolineflat energy 2
A brief account of the week. Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling…
Unpleasant, not dangerous
Posyflat energy 2
This week: 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 it stopped feeling…
A rough few days
Sadiesore energy 5turning point
Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling faintly stupid. A hard month on…
Slept through
Samtired energy 5turning point
Notes for the week. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. CPAP pressure reduced at his…
The list on the fridge
Tansysteady energy 2
Right. 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 yoghurt,…
Stayed for the company
Poppywarm energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…
Stayed for the company
Bridiewarm energy 4
This week: 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…
