Small thing that made a difference for me with checking the batch number. Write it down on paper, in the room, not in an app you will not open.
Everyone here blames the drug. Half the time it is the appointment schedule, not the molecule.
Personal experience, labelled as such, is exactly right here. Nobody is prescribing. Six weeks in on checking the batch number and it lines up.
The pain score conversation is thirty seconds of my life I will never get back, every time. Side effects was my main issue with checking the batch number too.
Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment.
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.

Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries?
Ask for the longer appointment slot. Ten minutes is not enough for a complex history and pretending otherwise wastes both your time.
Small wins count. Walking to the mailbox is a data point.
Same here.
