Guest guest Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 Ok We went to the Endo on Friday morning so my wife could be shown how to give me the injection. I told him about the price of the needles and he pulled my file and said that it was his fault. The way he wrote the script was that I was to take to shots a month and because of that he did not write a script for a box of needles so they gave me two safety needles which he said are more expensive because the needle comes off after you are done with them. He felt so bad that he refunded my copay from Monday.(i did look at the moon last night at it was not blue) He then wrote a script for a box of needles and he said i could decided the qty at the pharmacy and to tell them that they did not need to be safety needles so they could be less inexpensive. We did ask about doing 100mg 1x a week instead of 200mg every other week and he asked that we try it for 8 weeks this way and I chart how I feel. Then we would do blood work and we would go from there. He said that he has found that when he has to have someone go to 1x a week that it is normally more than 100mg. Funny part of the shot experience, my Endo is from Pakastain so he has a very distinct accent and my wife is in a hurry to get my libado back and was asking him how long it would take for me to be me again and can we do the shots more often because as she she said " my grandmother is diabetic and she takes a shot everyday " My Endo said back in his accent " Now Misses Champlin I know that you want to get the fires burning again but your husband will tell you that there is a big difference between a diabetic needle and a 21g 1 1/2 " needle going into his deep muscles alot. I have to spare your husband some pain in the beginning for your gain in the long run " Quote
