So, no, the shot appointment did NOT go well. I didnt suspect that it would. With the reaction the way that it was last time, I had fully expected to take a step or two backwards in the dosage amounts as has been the usual procedure. However, once I showed Sharon (the usual allergy nurse) the pictures of the last reaction (one taken 8 hrs after the injection and the other more than 24 hours later), she placed a call to the allergy dr. After a discussion of several minutes, it was decided that we'd not only step back...but we'd have to back it up to the previous vial. *sigh* Not only would we have to back it up to vial 3...but we'd have to use a different "schedule". Some vials are done on a schedule A which is about 4 shots worth for the vial. Some vials are schedule B which is 6 shots for the vials. Vial 4 Im supposed to be on a schedule A, but we'd modified it to an A.5 by adding a .3 shot between the .2 and .4 shots because my body was handling it so poorly. It's been decided that here on out I will be on a schedule C which breaks the vial down into 10 dosages. Yeah...means even LONGER I'll be needing the "build up" shots. I was also told that it's entirely possible that my body simply wont take a stronger dose than what is in vial 3 or 4 (which means I wont be inflicted with vials 5 or 6). What I do know now is that I have at LEAST another 10-15 weeks of the "build up shots".... I am beginning to wonder if the weight loss might be part of the issue. The body changes and medicines begin to react differently...?
