Small thing that made a difference for me with ordering in winter.
It sounds fussy until the day it saves you five minutes and an argument.
One change at a time, otherwise you learn nothing about which one worked.
Anyone got something better?
How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week?
You are not imagining it and you are not being difficult. Document it and take the document in. Tolerance was my main issue with ordering in winter too.
Function over score.
Ten percent cuts. Slower is faster. How long have you been on ordering in winter?
Worth repeating that this is not medical advice and the answer often depends on who you are. Two years in on ordering in winter and it lines up.
Following this because I am in the same place and have no idea what to ask at the appointment.
Ten percent cuts, of the current dose not the original. That is the arithmetic that keeps it survivable.
It gets smaller. Not easy, smaller. That distinction kept me going.
Everyone here blames the drug. Half the time it is the appointment schedule, not the molecule.
