Lying down to do it and not being embarrassed about that

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

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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

My pharmacist was more use than anyone. Ten minutes at the counter, no appointment, no charge.

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.

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.

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