Or WHAT?? If I skip a day or a week, does it evaporate from my system and I have to start over? If I shoot six times a week instead of five, will it totally negate the benefit of it?

It's very frustrating to give myself a shot every day with the philosophy of "can't hurt, might help" when it might not even be true. *sigh*

I'd also like to know more about who decided the one-size-fits-all dosage, how that was determined. Thanks for starting this thread.

Of course the manufacturer is going to advise you to take a full dose. The more you use the more you have to refill!

Like Cherie said.......it's just a crap shoot. It might work. It might not. I just got tired of being a guinea pig for big pharma.
