Small thing that made a difference for me with a records folder.
It takes ten seconds and removes a whole category of problem.
Worth trying before something more complicated.
Small wins count. Walking to the mailbox is a data point.
Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that. Same for me with a records folder, unfortunately.
Careful with attribution. You changed the timing, the dose and the season. That is three variables.
Same shape here, different drug. The thing that helped was documenting the refusal rather than re-arguing it. They refer rather than write. Tolerance was my main issue with a records folder too.
Worth repeating that this is not medical advice and the answer often depends on who you are.
Half of what people describe as tolerance is a change in the underlying condition, and the two need different answers.
Ask for the longer appointment slot. Ten minutes is not enough for a complex history and pretending otherwise wastes both your time.
