Function over score.

Function over score.

Same here.

Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that. Three weeks in on a billing error and it lines up.

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.

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

Ask for the longer appointment slot. Ten minutes is not enough for a complex history and pretending otherwise wastes both your time. How long have you been on a billing error?

Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment. Not on a billing error but the pattern is familiar.

I would stop trying to convey how bad it is and start saying what you want them to do.

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

Worth asking what specifically was measured. Pain scores move with mood and function does not. How long have you been on a billing error?

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