Ohhh, I keep getting into so much trouble with the program but I do feel 
better.  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.
