Today was relatively quiet. Definitely better than yesterday, but I still find myself watching the clock more and more. I'm considering putting a sticky note over the clock on my computer so that I'm not constantly staring at it.
I knew that something was strange when the Rebismart left some droplets on my leg. I called Multiple Support today to see what's up, and was told that the settings needed to be adjusted. Unfortunately I was at work, and didn't have the Rebismart with me so I have to call back tomorrow before I leave in the morning so they can walk me through the steps. I asked the nurse whether or not those droplets should have been injected, and they confirmed that there should be no droplets and any medicine on my leg after the injection should have been injected.
Great - no wonder I had no side effects! I wasn't getting the full dose!
My assumption is that the length of time the needle remains in my skin needs to be lengthened. Or maybe they can make the medicine come out faster? Either way, the needle comes out before all the medicine has been injected which leaves me not getting all the medicine I need. According to Multiple Support this is an easy fix! Whew! Tomorrow night is injection night, so hopefully it goes well.
I've decided to do the Monday, Wednesday and Friday injections. I was cautious when the nurse told me I could do it that way, and skip the weekends. I was originally told every three days. Multiple Support assured me it's actually three times a week, and it's fine to take the weekends off. That works for me!
That's all I got right now! Check back tomorrow for Injection #3!
