A person is not suppose to change anything or take any new medicine or change the amounts of medicine a person takes. They want to know what there medicine is doing with my body and nothing else.
Ok,,,,ok,,, I understand that but I have this catch 22 that I deal with,,,,, prednisone. A person can not take 10 mg or more and be in the program. At the very start I was living on pred. and Naprosyn while I lived through 30 days of getting Enbril out of my system. I was taking 10 mg at the very start....only my RD kept me in. Then,,,, when I was feeling better,,, I lowered the pred to 7.5 because the more pred I take the worse my shingles are. The lady got soooo mad at me that I was nearly washed out again because I changed an amount of anything I take. I can take being chewed out as well as the next guy but she went on and on and on. I finally put my hand up and said,,,, I fully understand your point and nothing I could say would change the fact that I changed the amount of something I take,,,, can we move on now? The shots I take are a pretty big shot,,,,,two of them. It seemed to me that she gave them to me a little fast which hurts like hell. I asked her when I was going to be able to give myself my shots or shot. Her eyebrows went up and I thought she was going to start in on me again....LOL I just smiled at her and she said,,,, soon. I know that they are building up the medicine in my system but what I have not told them,,,,,,,, is that I have started to itch in my lower back like I did with Remicade. I think it will be OK when I cut back to one shot every two weeks. So it goes. Harv
