I remember my doc told me to take notes. But I can remember how much I took and which side I used last time I just had to look and I could see. And that was another suggestion for me to take notes. So dose the uro ask to see your notes? Is there a form somewhere to fill out every time you inject give the uro information they need? Sorry but the light bulb on this note this is not turning on for me.
There are lots of good reasons for keeping some kind of injection log. If you spend several years on trimix, your dosage may change over time. Or your uro may put you on a different formula. Costs may change, too, and it's nice to have a record of that stuff. In my case, I've had to increase the dosage over the past two years. Next time I see the doc I'm going to ask him for a stronger formula — and I'll be able to tell him exactly when I went from 10 units to 13 to 16 to 20 to 24, so that he can see the progression of what's been going on with me.
There's a sample of my notes below. FYI, my drill is that I keep my vial frozen, thaw it once a week and fill three or four syringes, which are kept in the fridge, not the freezer. You'll see that reflected in my notes. Also a running total of my injections since the very beginning. The notes may not make perfect sense to you, but you'll get the idea. The "batches" mentioned are packets of syringes.
