Diagnosed with PA at the end of 2021, followed by 6 injections and now 1 injection every 3 months. Considerable relief of symptoms, complicated by heart attack and operation.

Would be good to have extra injection whilst your body is under stress . Mental or physical stress necessitates extra injections . If your GP refuses , self injection is easy and cheap . Information is available here if required . Best wishes .

Hi,

I'm pleased to read that you're getting relief from your symptoms.

Do you have neurological symptoms?

If yes to neuro symptoms, I would expect you to get injections every 2 months.
