Unless there's a placebo effect placebo effect! Seriously, I think I've experienced that. (I'll take a pill and immediately feel better because I think that the placebo effect will make me feel better.) But maybe it's too hard to disentangle.

I continue to think that I am blatantly crazy for continuing to not find out how strong placebo effects tend to be and what big factors affect that.
