Headache for three days running. It turned out I had barely drunk anything since Tuesday. Water, then a slow improvement, then feeling faintly stupid.

A difficult monsoon month.

The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it stopped feeling like something happening to me at random.

The burping. Nobody mentions the burping. It is not in any leaflet and it is genuinely one of the odder experiences of my adult life.

Iterating.

Thank you for saying the hard part out loud. It makes it easier for the rest of us to.

That is a real thing and it is not trivial. Do not let anyone tell you it is only hair.
