Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that.
Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment. Not on paying by card but the pattern is familiar.
Function over score.
Half of what people describe as tolerance is a change in the underlying condition, and the two need different answers. Currently on paying by card myself.
Sorry for the basic question, but how do you actually start one of these diaries?
Careful with attribution. You changed the timing, the dose and the season. That is three variables.
Worth asking what specifically was measured. Pain scores move with mood and function does not. How long have you been on paying by card?
The pain score conversation is thirty seconds of my life I will never get back, every time. Side effects was my main issue with paying by card too.
Ask for the longer appointment slot. Ten minutes is not enough for a complex history and pretending otherwise wastes both your time. Currently on paying by card myself.
Changing prescriber does not reset anything, and people discover that the hard way.

It gets smaller. Not easy, smaller. That distinction kept me going. Not on paying by card but the pattern is familiar.
You have two changes at once here. You cannot attribute anything until one of them moves.
Bring a list. Embarrassment makes everyone forget things, including you.
