My insurer wants a faster schedule than my body does

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.

What the opening post described happened to me too, in a slightly different order.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
