Placebo or not placebo

My pain management doctor has recently put me on something new, I’m making a post that talks more about this in my “life universe everything” section, but it’s to replace my breakthrough pill. So far it seems to be working, but when you’ve lived with pain for years, any positive change is looked upon with suspicion. That lead K and I talking about it a day or two after the changeover and me explaining that I wasn’t sure if it was all in my head or what. K said something like “Maybe it is just the placebo effect, but enjoy it either way.”

My response?

“If it’s a placebo effect, it needs to keep placebing” LOL

Yep. I make up words all the time.
