Pen- I'm so sorry to hear that you've been feeling so bad and have such serious decisions to make. As you told me in my first post, "you do what you can when you can." I hope you are taking your own advice and making yourself your #1 priority and taking care of yourself. I think all of the...

Beth - I currently take shots every two weeks but went up to weekly doses during a flare up in the past. Thanks for suggesting this - I have added it to my list of questions for the doctor!
