Three days after the injection are always the worst — putting it in its own thread so it does not get lost in the check-in.

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 written down what has actually happened, in order, because I find that more useful than my summary of it.

My prescriber has been fine, genuinely. The problem is that I get nine minutes twice a year and there is no version of nine minutes that covers this.

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

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.

the opening post — 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.

Reading the opening post, I recognised more of that than I expected to.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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