25 Jun 2026 — What is the thing you keep forgetting?

Labelled the freezer boxes with what is in them and how I felt when I made them.

11 Jun 2026 — What is the last thing that felt like progress and had no number attached?

7 May 2026 — Who did you help this week?

Honestly it has been a lonely fortnight. Reading this box is most of my social life at the moment.

Got the prescription transferred between two counties without a single phone call, which I am still smug about.

Circles

Long covid and fatigue
Pacing, energy budgets, and a very careful approach.

NHS, HSE, waiting lists, and the local specifics.
The plateau
When nothing is changing and you are still here.
Side effect support
The ordinary tax, the frightening bits, and knowing which is which.
Europe
Twenty-seven systems, and none of them like the internet says.
Thyroid
Two sets of bloods, two sets of questions.

What is not here

No follower count. No post count. No activity score. No badge. Nothing on this page can be used to rank Persis against anybody, and that is a design decision rather than a missing feature.
