Being a single parent through the first three months

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
