How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week?

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

Ask for the longer appointment slot. Ten minutes is not enough for a complex history and pretending otherwise wastes both your time.

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

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