You have two changes at once here. You cannot attribute anything until one of them moves.

Access to mugs should be on the clinical questionnaire.

Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that.

Enteric coatings should not be crushed. The pellets are the delivery mechanism. Not on trimethoprim but the pattern is familiar.

The last ten percent of a taper takes as long as the first ninety. Nobody says so until you are in it.

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

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

Careful with attribution. You changed the timing, the dose and the season. That is three variables.

Changing prescriber does not reset anything, and people discover that the hard way. How long have you been on trimethoprim?

Same here.

Enteric coatings should not be crushed. The pellets are the delivery mechanism. Not on trimethoprim but the pattern is familiar.

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.

Function over score.

Sleep first. Bad night, bad day, more symptoms. Fix that before changing anything else.
