Does anyone see a reason not to increase the dose to 1 unit?

The results on 0.85 units haven't been all that consistent, so it's hard to tell what's going on. However, this dose is not working either, and it seems like the only way to go is up at this point. Really, I haven't been able to detect much of a difference between 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 OR 0.85 units when all the readings for each dose are considered together. I think the remaining two readings I take today are likely to change the 0.85 curve to just about what the others were.


Well, I can't load a fourth attachment. It's basically flat at 300 from +1 to +9 and rises up to 350 at the ends.

No. Go ahead and raise.

We pretty much decided that either the 130 or the 400+ that one morning was a mis-read, right? That is the only place where, if those numbers were both correct, it would indicate rebound - as far as I can see.

I'm assuming that the 130 was a mis-read. Since then I've twice gotten a crazy low reading and when I immediately repeated it I got something much more in line with expectations. Both times it seemed like I maybe didn't really have blood but rather blood diluted by some other fluid I squeezed out of the ear.

I just got the +10 reading (423). I guess I'm wondering if she's rebounding all day today off a low reading she got last night. She was unusually low at preshot and then at +3 last night, and now today she's unusually high all day.

The only way this is rebound is if she really only needs .25u or something a lot lower than you have tried yet.

Let's see if she gets an better numbers off the 1u. You can look for an unusual low number is a few days if it is rebound.

As for getting something else from her ear after you poke it, I doubt it. What meter are you using? Have you tried testing yourself when you get an odd number? I wonder if there is something wrong with the meter?
