I would stop trying to convey how bad it is and start saying what you want them to do. Tolerance was my main issue with gym and peptides too.

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

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

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

Worth repeating that this is not medical advice and the answer often depends on who you are.

Personal experience, labelled as such, is exactly right here. Nobody is prescribing.
