After five years on doxycycline my metallic taste has become the main problem rather than the thing it was prescribed for.

My pharmacist was more useful than the appointment, and it was a two minute conversation at the counter.

I asked for the refusal to be noted in the record and got what I asked for within a week.

Genuinely open to being told my reasoning is wrong here.

Everyone here blames the drug. Half the time it is the appointment schedule, not the molecule.

Changing prescriber does not reset anything, and people discover that the hard way.

Interdose restlessness is distinct from the original symptom and worth naming separately.

Fifteen years of this and the function column is the only one that changed anything for me. Also, one page of history, printed, handed over at the start. It changes the appointment.

How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week? How long have you been on doxycycline?

The pain score conversation is thirty seconds of my life I will never get back, every time.

Bring a list. Embarrassment makes everyone forget things, including you.

Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries?
