Lesson #1 was to pull the bit on the end of the adapter to remove the needle cap.
Lesson #2 even if you remember to pull the end off, check to make sure the needle cap actually came off before injecting...I know I pulled it because I had it on the table...
Fortunately both times I've been able to save the medication and done a manual injection. Guess you live and learn. My dosage will increase on my next injection so I'm debating on where I should do it. The plan was to rotate around all the spots but I think I had a reaction in my left arm it almost feels like an insect bite, some swelling and it's been itching on and off, and I think it still looks a little red, not sure I want to do my first normal dose in my right arm and have the same reaction, I'm thinking of just jumping right to the butt, and yep that did hurt last time but at least I don't have a reaction site.
After almost 2 months of almost no scalp itching I think I'm starting to get a little irritation back again, ah well I think that's something I'm going to just have to live with for the rest of my life. At least the flaking is waay down, and hey the steroids were useful for something else other than just treating the MS symptoms. I've tried new hair products in the hope that that will reduce some of the irritation, and I no longer use a shampoo with a detergent which just makes things 100 times worse.
Did pick up the needlework for a bit again last night, hard to do in the evening tho I need better light honestly, and I must remember to have a pencil handy to mark off what I've done, this pattern is to complicated to not do so. I am seriously going to need a lit magnifier to work properly. I just wish I knew what I had done with the original one I had that worked just fine. There are a few out there so I'll be looking for the perfect one. And of course I'll need to find a new framer for my artwork when it's done, I think I'm already missing my lady that I used to use in New Jersey, she really did a fantastic job. What I might do is there is a shop in Livermore that does stitch stuff I might ask there if they can make a recommendation on a framer.
