What I would say to someone in month three

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.

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.

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

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

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

Coming back to this a fortnight later to say it settled. Leaving the update because I hate reading threads that stop.

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

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.

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

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

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.
