Today when I was injecting my Raptiva, one of the immunosuppressants, some came back out after the injection. I was concerned, because I was afraid if I did not get an adequate amount, I might be able to reject the islet cells. I called my coordinator, and we decided that I probably got more than I thought, but she would discuss it with the Dr on monday. Later, I thought to take the syringe and expel some and see how much I thought came out. I decided that it was probably only about one or two tenths of a cc. I was supposed to inject 5 total.
Later in the evening, I noticed a strange red mark on my shoulder. Upon closer inspection, I thought it looked like ringworm. I googled ringworm pictures, and sure enough, that is what it looks like.
I am now at 10 units of insulin/day. I am still wearing my pump, and seem to constantly be turning it down or off.
