Not glamorous, but contacting the pharmacy is the change that helped most.
Label things. Anonymous jars are how mistakes start.
The first two weeks are the hard part, after that it is automatic.
Do it before the appointment, not during it.
Took me years to work this out.
Access to mugs should be on the clinical questionnaire. Same for me with contacting the pharmacy, unfortunately.
Ten percent cuts. Slower is faster.
The pain score conversation is thirty seconds of my life I will never get back, every time.
You are not imagining it and you are not being difficult. Document it and take the document in.
You have two changes at once here. You cannot attribute anything until one of them moves.
Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that.
Access to mugs should be on the clinical questionnaire.
Worth asking what specifically was measured. Pain scores move with mood and function does not. How long have you been on contacting the pharmacy?
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.
