He needs to know she got worse after reducing and he will probably tell you to keep her on previous dose. Were you seeing any improvement on previous dose? |
So I called the neuro today and apparently I wasn't suppose to follow the instructions on the prescriptions which said to do 2x a day for a week then 1x a day for a week and 1x a day every other day for the following week. How was I suppose to know? I thought that's what instructions were meant for? Anyways, I'm suppose to continue giving Bella her steroids twice a day.
Also, requested her records and MRI from the neuro so once I get it, I'll be able to tell be more informative. My memory sucks right now.
Oh, I also called Grandpa's compounding and they're able to get Bella's med for half the price I was paying in town! Shipping is only $3 too.
