The limits of yoghurt
Hattiesteady energy 3
A quiet week. Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the…
Two sessions
Patricktired but good energy 2
Late, and writing anyway. 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. Walked…
Grip
Wilftired but good energy 3
This week: 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…
First dose, done
Esmewired energy 3turning point
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 behind. A very…
First dose, done
Flossiewired energy 4
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 and I will ask again at…
Two flights of stairs
Hannahpleased energy 5
Late, and writing anyway. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Sat on the floor and played for an hour, and then…
Standing in the kitchen
Heddawired energy 4turning point
Recording this for the record. 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…
A different shape
Hollytired energy 4
Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the…
A new bin and a plan
Kezorganised energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four…

Pamnervous energy 3turning point
A brief account of the week. I told one person. Not my mother, not work. One person, and only because she asked me a direct question at the right moment. Transcribes…
Dreams
Sadietired energy 4
Ten minutes then I am asleep. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study came back…
Eight hours of difference
Duncanorganised energy 2
Week in order: Time difference of eight hours and a weekly dose. Moved it forward by two hours a day rather than all at once, on my GP's suggestion. Cool bag,…
The first one
Gavinwired energy 2turning point
Short one 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 only fair to leave…
Back without making it up
Maryamtired but good energy 3
Recording this for the record. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Came back after…
Paired
Prueheld energy 2
Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…
Day one
Brodywired energy 4turning 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 written in a van. I want to write this…
A plain question
Gussteady energy 4
A gentle week, mostly. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my own…
Two lengths, badly
Gwenquietly delighted energy 5
This week: 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. Full shift on my feet…
Anchored to the shifts
Ottolineorganised energy 5
New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person.…
An unremarkable week
Priyafine energy 3
Sitting down to this properly tonight. Steady. That is the whole entry. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the…
It is coming back
Salmaquiet energy 5
A gentle week, mostly. The hum is back, quieter. I panicked when it started returning and Jonah pointed out, mildly, that nobody had promised it was permanent. The…
First dose, done
Vivwired energy 5turning point
Well then. 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 and I will ask…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Poppypleased energy 1turning point
Quickly, before bed. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Worked out where to keep a pen in a…
Three cool bags and a thermometer
Doraorganised energy 3
Three things this week. 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. Anchored…
