How much were you doing?
I was started out on 1,000ccs a week at Swank's clinic. Then Barbara upped it to 2,000, then 3,000 and told me to use 4,000 ccs. when in trouble.
Since then I have a new neuro who says the 4,000 is fine since the overflow will pass out your urine. I do 3,000 most of the time and break it into three shots per week of 1,000 each time. It keeps my energy and stamina levels steady and helps me a great deal. My friend does 2,000 and goes up to 4,000 when she has to do a lot or is overly tired.
I asked the pharmacist if there was a danger. He said I could shoot up the entire 30 ml. bottle and have no bad effects but he said the 2,000 to 4,000 range for MS was best.
It is not a sub for rest and it will not save you from flare ups if you over do. Sometimes it is hard not to over do, but I always ask myself if I've done enough and my honest answer to myself is something I pay heed to most of the time. Margie
