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.

Great comment B2Y. Who does determine this? And is there a way they can test to make sure you are at YOUR optimal dose. I would think something would show in your blood work chemistry.
Cherie - Thanks for your post. I haven't heard about those small studies that were done. Do you have a link of where you read this or saw this? I have a neuro appt in a couple of weeks and may bring that up. It would be great if I could share the small study results with her.
