Sharing this because it took me an embarrassingly long time to work out.
It takes ten seconds and removes a whole category of problem.
Write it down on paper, in the room, not in an app you will not open.
That is the whole tip. No affiliate, no link, no drama.
Small wins count. Walking to the mailbox is a data point.
Reference ranges differ between labs, so comparing two reports is close to meaningless.
Enteric coatings should not be crushed. The pellets are the delivery mechanism.
Same shape here, different drug. The thing that helped was documenting the refusal rather than re-arguing it. They refer rather than write.
Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that. Not on keeping a copy of the prescription but the pattern is familiar.
Ten percent cuts, of the current dose not the original. That is the arithmetic that keeps it survivable. Currently on keeping a copy of the prescription myself.
You are not imagining it and you are not being difficult. Document it and take the document in.
I would stop trying to convey how bad it is and start saying what you want them to do.
Function over score.
It gets smaller. Not easy, smaller. That distinction kept me going. A fortnight in on keeping a copy of the prescription and it lines up.
Everyone here blames the drug. Half the time it is the appointment schedule, not the molecule.
