Do I need to change how I eat straight away

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Can I gently push back on one thing? Not the substance, just the framing — you have written twice that you should be coping better. Who told you that?

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.
