People stopped asking and I found that a relief

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Building on what the reply above wrote rather than answering the original question.

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.

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

What helped was lowering my own expectations of the week rather than trying to hold the week together.

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.

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