Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries?

Print the page.

Ask for the longer appointment slot. Ten minutes is not enough for a complex history and pretending otherwise wastes both your time.

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

It gets smaller. Not easy, smaller. That distinction kept me going.

Enteric coatings should not be crushed. The pellets are the delivery mechanism. Tolerance was my main issue with splitting an order too.

Bring a list. Embarrassment makes everyone forget things, including you.

Ask for the longer appointment slot. Ten minutes is not enough for a complex history and pretending otherwise wastes both your time.

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?

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

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.

Small wins count. Walking to the mailbox is a data point. How long have you been on splitting an order?

Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that.
