Small thing that made a difference for me with a records folder.
Label things. Anonymous jars are how mistakes start.
Do it before the appointment, not during it.
It sounds fussy until the day it saves you five minutes and an argument.
Worth trying before something more complicated.
Changing prescriber does not reset anything, and people discover that the hard way.
Small wins count. Walking to the mailbox is a data point.
Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that.
Same here.
Worth asking what specifically was measured. Pain scores move with mood and function does not.
The pain score conversation is thirty seconds of my life I will never get back, every time.
Half of what people describe as tolerance is a change in the underlying condition, and the two need different answers.
