Starting a thread on this because it keeps coming up in ones and twos: Nausea disappeared at week nine and never came back

Something is going on with my body and I would like to know whether it is ordinary.

What I keep tripping on is not the physical bit. It is the not knowing whether what I am experiencing is normal, and having nobody to ask who is not either selling something or frightened for me.

I have read the guides here, which were more useful than anything else I have found, and I still have a question they do not cover.

The thing that has surprised me most is how much of this is about other people rather than about me.

Not looking for a plan. Just company and whatever anyone has found.

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.

Please do not read the comments under news articles about this. I lost a fortnight to that.

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.

Gently disagreeing with the reply above, or rather adding the other half of it.

Thank you for writing this. I am not going to add information to it. I am going to say that what you have described is very common and very rarely said out loud.

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

the reply above said something I want to sit with for a second.

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.

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

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.

Two things that helped me, neither of them clever: small amounts more often, and drinking a lot more than felt necessary.

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.

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.

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

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

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?

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.

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

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.
