How this circle differs from every other room I have been in

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.

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.

I did exactly the same and felt terrible about it. You have not done anything wrong.

Practical, boring answer: write the three questions down before you go in. I have never once remembered them otherwise.

What the reply above described happened to me too, in a slightly different order.

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

My experience was very boring, which I offer as data. Some of us just get a dull time of it.

I asked my nurse the same question and she said something I have repeated ever since: that the aim is to keep you on treatment, not to get you up the schedule.

the reply above — yes, and the bit that took me longest to accept was the next part.

Similar here, and mine turned out to be a completely unrelated deficiency picked up on bloods.

I have been in this circle a year and this question comes round every few months. It is not a silly question. It is the question.

Yes. All of this. I had the same in my third month and I remember thinking there was something specifically wrong with me, which there was not.

Reading the reply above, I recognised more of that than I expected to.

Mine lasted about seven weeks and then lifted over a few days. I cannot tell you why. I can tell you it lifted.

I would take that to a clinician rather than to us, and I would do it this week. Not because it is definitely serious — because it is the sort of thing that is much easier to rule out than to worry about.
