A referral – how do you actually get one without sounding like a hypochondriac?
Appeals succeed far more often than first requests, because the first review is often automated.
Function beats pain scores in these conversations. “I cannot sit for twenty minutes” lands.

Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries?
Half of what people describe as tolerance is a change in the underlying condition, and the two need different answers. Side effects was my main issue with a referral too.

Function over score.

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