Salt, crackers, and small amounts often Writing it down partly to work out what I actually think.

Before anyone says it: yes, I have an appointment booked. I would still like to hear from people who have had this.

Here is where I am. The medication side has been more or less as described, and the part nobody prepared me for is everything around it: what to say to people, how to plan a week, and how to tell the difference between a thing to endure and a thing to raise.

I have written down what has actually happened, in order, because I find that more useful than my summary of it.

Anyway. Thank you for reading this far. Any experience gratefully received, and I promise to come back and say what happened.

Similar here, and mine turned out to be a completely unrelated deficiency picked up on bloods.

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 want to slow this down a little. There are four different answers flying about and they are all somebody's real experience, which makes them true and not necessarily relevant to the person who asked.

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

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

Two things that helped me, neither of them clever: small amounts more often, and drinking a lot more than felt necessary.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Before anyone offers a remedy: what has been described here is on the list of things that need a clinician today rather than a thread. I am going to be firm about that, kindly.

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.
