Haven’t quite reached the 100% resolved/full-payoff state yet but I once had a doctor firmly tell a family member to (paraphrased) not settle for a partial improvement and https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/fhEPnveFhb9tmd7Pe/use-the-try-harder-luke. I notice that when I apply that seriously to my health problems, entire swaths of the problem space vanish. I can’t say that I’m 100% fixed though because my doctors and I are still digging around in the much-reduced problem space.
If you require something that’s fully resolved or has definite results, then I’d say:
Aforementioned “1 thing” resulted in long-term pain relief in part of my body
Checking UpToDate (<$50 for 1 week) before (and during) doctor visits dropped my stress greatly and showed me that certain problems might have a real solution. I am also able to have a much more intelligent and meaningful conversation with doctors
