I am in a nursing home. Today was injection day. I am on the 40 mg. Nurse came in with two shots. I asked her why and she said "Have they not been giving you two shots?" No why would they? She said these are 20 mg, so you need two and they should have been giving you two to make it 40mg. She gave me both shots in my right arm. Ten minutes later my arm feel like it is on fire and I found out they have been giving me to 20 mg three times a week ... half a dose, half the week. I asked for an ice pack. They told me kitchen was closed. I said you can make one and was told no, we have nothing to make it with. (There is an ice machine and rubber gloves) Someone finally made me one.
But what angers me is the nurse said that to 20mg has been being used since June 1.
Anyone taking two 20 in a single site at a time. Would it not be better to go back to daily injections until they get the 40 mg in?
Thanks for any feedback
