Waited from 8 a.m. till 3 p.m. for phone to ring . Doctor asked what dose of steroids are you on? 2.25 mg daily I said. So, you are on 2 25mg?

It just went downhill from there

The wait for the call is sufficient to stess me out in itself.

What did you say?

I tried " two and a quarter mg" don't think that was understood either.

Goodness me. 2 x 1mg tablets and a little bit more?

Thought I would just clarify the way I make the 2.25mg.

I have 2.5 mg tablets and have cut these in half. So 1.25 plus a 1mg works very well.

you have more patience than me. I phoned the surgery half an hour after 13.00 to find out why I had not had a call.

I have done that a lot. One of the receptionists gets very angry with me.

Invariably they call just when you're on the loo having crossed your legs for the last few hours!

Not what you're looking for?
