Tofu textures ranked by a nauseated person Writing it down partly to work out what I actually think.

Practical question, and possibly a silly one.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Reading the reply above, I recognised more of that than I expected to.

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.

Reading the reply above, I recognised more of that than I expected to.

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

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

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

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

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.
