A question rather than an update: Nausea plus wine — a mistake made once
Practical question, and possibly a silly one.
I have written down what has actually happened, in order, because I find that more useful than my summary of it.
The thing that has surprised me most is how much of this is about other people rather than about me.
Sorry for the length. If anyone has been here, I would very much like to hear it.

I am about four months behind you and I have been dreading exactly this, so thank you for writing it down before I got there.

Yes to the burping. It is real, it is unbeautiful, and it does settle.

Can I gently push back on one thing? Not the substance, just the framing — you have written twice that you should be coping better. Who told you that?

Building on what the reply above wrote rather than answering the original question.
I will leave this open for a few more days and then add it to the circle's resources, because the answers here are better than anything I would have written.

Have you got anyone who can be with you when you do it? It made an enormous difference to me and I felt silly asking.

The thing that changed it for me was going slower, agreed with my prescriber. I am not suggesting you do that. I am saying the conversation exists.

Gently disagreeing with the reply above, or rather adding the other half of it.
It got worse before it got better for me, which I wish someone had said. About ten days of worse.

For what it is worth, the trial data on this is thinner than the confidence of the internet would suggest. Worth knowing when you read the posts.

Coming back to this a fortnight later to say it settled. Leaving the update because I hate reading threads that stop.

I am the person who had the frightening version of this. I went in, it was investigated, and it was not what anyone feared. Going in is the whole of my advice.

Reading the reply above, I recognised more of that than I expected to.
The phrase that unlocked my appointment was asking what specifically she wanted me to watch for. It moved us from reassurance to a plan in about thirty seconds.

Different experience here, for balance. Mine did not improve and in the end I stopped, and that was the right call for me. Both outcomes exist.

I keep a two-line diary and it is the only reason I could answer this question about myself. Worth starting even now.

No advice, just recognition. That sounds exhausting and I am sorry you are in it.

My pharmacist was more use than anyone. Ten minutes at the counter, no appointment, no charge.

Gently: you have apologised three times in a post where you have done nothing that requires an apology.
13
I did exactly the same and felt terrible about it. You have not done anything wrong.
