Insurance question, and the plan document contradicts what the counter told me.
Ask for the refusal to be noted in the record. It changes the next conversation more than any argument.
Function beats pain scores in these conversations. “I cannot sit for twenty minutes” lands.
Happy to be told the process is simpler than I think.
The last ten percent of a taper takes as long as the first ninety. Nobody says so until you are in it. Same for me with a practice change, unfortunately.
Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment. Same for me with a practice change, unfortunately.
Ask for the longer appointment slot. Ten minutes is not enough for a complex history and pretending otherwise wastes both your time.
Same here.
Same here.
Changing prescriber does not reset anything, and people discover that the hard way. How long have you been on a practice change?
Everyone here blames the drug. Half the time it is the appointment schedule, not the molecule.
Ten percent cuts. Slower is faster. Currently on a practice change myself.
Enteric coatings should not be crushed. The pellets are the delivery mechanism.
Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries?
You are not imagining it and you are not being difficult. Document it and take the document in. Six weeks in on a practice change and it lines up.
The pain score conversation is thirty seconds of my life I will never get back, every time.
Worth repeating that this is not medical advice and the answer often depends on who you are.
Careful with attribution. You changed the timing, the dose and the season. That is three variables.
