Ferry crews and fridge access

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

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.

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

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

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

the reply above said something I want to sit with for a second.

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

Yes to the burping. It is real, it is unbeautiful, and it does settle.

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

It got worse before it got better for me, which I wish someone had said. About ten days of worse.
