My pharmacist has become my actual doctor and I am at peace with it.

Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment.

You are not imagining it and you are not being difficult. Document it and take the document in.

Print the page. Side effects was my main issue with a written medication list too.

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

It gets smaller. Not easy, smaller. That distinction kept me going. Same for me with a written medication list, unfortunately.

You have two changes at once here. You cannot attribute anything until one of them moves.

How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week?

Reference ranges differ between labs, so comparing two reports is close to meaningless. Same for me with a written medication list, unfortunately.

Worth repeating that this is not medical advice and the answer often depends on who you are.

Bring a list. Embarrassment makes everyone forget things, including you. Side effects was my main issue with a written medication list too.

Ten percent cuts. Slower is faster. Side effects was my main issue with a written medication list too.
