I have been at the same step for five months and every clinician I meet seems mildly surprised. It is working. I am not moving.

Asked to go back down and felt like a coward, then did it anyway.

Went back down a step. It felt like a defeat for about two days and then it felt like the most sensible thing I have done all year.

Third day after the change is always the worst and I have finally stopped being surprised by it. Knowing it is coming does not make it pleasant, but it does make it survivable.

Reviewed.

Please do take that to your GP rather than waiting for the next review. Not to frighten you — just, go.

Writing this down for my own review, if you do not mind. The question you asked is the one I have been failing to ask for a year.

Do you want to come to the Thursday circle? You would not have to say anything.
