Worth asking what specifically was measured. Pain scores move with mood and function does not.

You have two changes at once here. You cannot attribute anything until one of them moves.

Half of what people describe as tolerance is a change in the underlying condition, and the two need different answers.

Domain age is one of the few signals that is expensive to fake and free to check. Tolerance was my main issue with a bank transfer too.

I would stop trying to convey how bad it is and start saying what you want them to do.
