  • Walking

    Marnie23 Sep 2024tired but good energy 1

    Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps…

  • Slept through

    Sara23 Sep 2024rested energy 3

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It…

  • A different shape

    Ambrose22 Sep 2024foggy energy 4

    A brief account of the week. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved.…

  • Slept through

  • Laces

    Bertie22 Sep 2024pleased energy 4

    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. Swam. First time since school. Two…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Bo22 Sep 2024brisk energy 5

    Late, and writing anyway. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Asked the question I…

  • Nothing to report

    Esme22 Sep 2024steady energy 2

    Evening. 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…

  • What was underneath

    Gus22 Sep 2024thoughtful energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. I did not know other people did not have this. That is the part I keep turning over. I assumed everybody was doing the same…

  • An unremarkable week

    Hattie22 Sep 2024steady energy 4

    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 this week…

  • Day one

    Moray22 Sep 2024wired energy 4

    Well then. 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.…

  • Flat, whole night

    Ned22 Sep 2024quietly delighted energy 1

    Short one tonight. 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. Got down on the…

  • Nothing to report

    Sadie22 Sep 2024flat energy 2

  • Nothing to report

    Ted22 Sep 2024fine 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. Steady. That is the…

  • Starters as a main

    Winnie22 Sep 2024loved energy 3

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem…

  • Two lengths, badly

    Mina21 Sep 2024grateful energy 5

    A quiet week. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago without ever deciding to stop. Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds…

  • Nine minutes

    Col21 Sep 2024brisk energy 2

    Quickly, before bed. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. She reduced one…

  • A locum

    Holly21 Sep 2024heard energy 1

  • The bad fortnight

    Ottoline21 Sep 2024flat energy 1turning 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. Fatigue that…

  • The bad fortnight

    Posy21 Sep 2024flat energy 1turning point

    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…

  • Where the pen lives

    Tansy21 Sep 2024organised energy 5

    Right. Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Anchored injection day to my…

    Toby21 Sep 2024fine energy 2

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…

  • Quiet

    Carl20 Sep 2024flat energy 3

    This week: An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory…
