He looks like he read my message about an additional snack! :p

Either that, or I move some of the food from +6 to another time. +6 seems to be pretty late in his cycles.

Normally, you do not want to feed after the nadir. How about moving the +6 snack to +5? Will he be OK without food after +5?
 
It's interesting to see how the decrease is affecting his AM and PM PS numbers. He's holding steady in the cycle, though, as you said. I hope the food adjustment will help Pookey! He's doing so well, overall.

I know right? It’s like he’s just barely running out of juice, but still hitting similar lows somehow. Not complaining… just more interesting like you said. Thanks Marielle :bighug:

Edit: Could still be the depot from the previous dose keeping nadirs down now that I think about it.

Could be the depot. I know nothing--but I wonder if the dose decrease is having an impact on the duration--so he's not quite holding those previous low numbers to the end of the cycle??? Again, I know nothing.

If you're talking about my shoulder , I'm doing really good. Still going to PT 3 times a week and do them at home .
Might need a hip replacement ,will see the surgeon this Wednesday. Found out I have a labral tear but the doctor's didn't have a definite diagnosis where my pain was coming from. So they sent me to a pain management doctor and he gave me a steroid shot ( Kenolog) right in the joint socket on Dec 20.

If I get some relief at all then the pain is definitely coming from my hip.
Believe it or not I have had no pain at all since then
Let me tell you the pain I had was so bad in my groin area and hip some days I couldn't walk
So I just saw the pain management doctor and he said it's definitely my hip and will need a hip replacement.

But he said if this injection lasts for even 6 months or more then starts hurting again he could give me the injection again and if it doesn't help time for a hip replacement.

I will see Dr Rossman who I saw the first time who only does hip replacements , but he sent me to another Dr about the labral tear who only specializes in hip and groin pain.

Went to NYC for the MRI , that's where they wanted me to go even though I could have went to a place in N.J. where I live.
What a place this was . It showed so much more than the MRI I went for in the first place in Jersey

So I'll see what Dr Rossman has to say once I see him and bring him the MRI and report from N.Y.
The pain management doctor and Dr Rossman are in the same place , so is the doctor that did my shoulder surgery.

I feel like a ping pong ball back and forth to doctors.
How the hell this happened I have no idea . The report said the head of the hip is worn , don't feel like getting up to copy what it says on the report lol

And I always thought I was in good shape for 68. Walked 2 miles 4 times a week and exercised .
I still feel like I'm in my early 50's lol
Don't get old Tim because it sucks :p
Sorry I rambled on and on

Wow! That’s quite a journey they have you on. But it sounds like you’re getting some high-level care which makes the travel worth it. I have heard the technology for hip replacements has improved, and some people walk the next day or two!
