Small wins count. Walking to the mailbox is a data point.

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

Print the page. A year in on coming back after years away and it lines up.

Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that. A year in on coming back after years away and it lines up.

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

Same here.
