This is where I part company with the consensus forming above. Pushing back on the anecdote-stacking. Twenty people reporting the same thing is twenty samples from the same self-selected pool, not twenty independent confirmations.

Agreed on the substance. I would put less weight on the timescale, because two months of anything is not enough to distinguish a trend from a wobble.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Thank you — that is the clearest version of this I have read, and I have read a lot of them. Taking it to my next appointment.

Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. It is worth asking what the claim would look like if it were false. If nothing would look different, it is not a claim about the world and no amount of discussion will settle it.

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

This is my experience too, for whatever a second data point is worth.
