You are not imagining it and you are not being difficult. Document it and take the document in.

Three questions kill most of the confidence in a thread like this: sample size, blinding, who paid.

Small wins count. Walking to the mailbox is a data point. Two months in on cephalexin and it lines up.

Log dose, time and sleep. Ten seconds a day and it turns the anecdote into something you can look at.

It gets smaller. Not easy, smaller. That distinction kept me going.

File early. The window is shorter than people think and it starts at the transaction.
