  • Slept through

    Ozzy22 Jul 2025tired energy 4turning point

    Well then. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. CPAP pressure reduced. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit…

  • Walking

    Saoirse22 Jul 2025tired but good energy 3

    A gentle week, mostly. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday.…

  • She read the diary

    Sara22 Jul 2025brisk energy 5

    Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Nine minutes. I took three written…

  • Stayed for the company

    Zeb22 Jul 2025warm energy 1turning point

    Week in order: Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Insurance-appeals circle, where he and Mo compare…

  • Steady

    Aleks21 Jul 2025fine energy 5

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made…

  • No mask

    Aria21 Jul 2025rested energy 1

    Three things this week. 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 nearly did not write

    Ash21 Jul 2025fine energy 3

    Right. 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. Nothing to report.…

  • She reduced it

    Cato21 Jul 2025brisk energy 1

    This week: Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Took the diary in. She read it…

  • Before nine

    Col21 Jul 2025steady energy 5

    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. Protein first,…

  • Two lines a day

    Marit21 Jul 2025organised energy 2

    Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Two lines a day in a paper diary.…

  • An unremarkable week

    Moray21 Jul 2025fine energy 3

    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. Quiet.…

  • A wedding

    Nix21 Jul 2025awkward energy 5

    Notes for the week. 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 to be solved.…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Nolan21 Jul 2025held energy 3

    This week: Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question…

  • Fewer, heavier

    Patrick21 Jul 2025tired but good energy 4

    Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Prue21 Jul 2025heard 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. She reduced one of my other medications. I…

  • Before nine

    Wilf21 Jul 2025practical energy 5turning point

    This week: Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. Started taking protein seriously after a talk from Ren. Greek…
