A question rather than an update: Breakfast has become impossible and lunch is fine

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Gently: you have apologised three times in a post where you have done nothing that requires an apology.

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

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.

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.

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

It got worse before it got better for me, which I wish someone had said. About ten days of worse.

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

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.

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

Two things, both boring. First, none of us can tell you what to take. Second, the conversation you want to have is with your prescriber, and we can help you write it down.

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