It's two days before the next E injection and now I understand the roller coaster effect. The first week was great, and the last few days were still o.k., but there is a big drop right now. But haven't had to worry about the patches and that's great.
Gonna be a couple days late for the injection following a vaction starting on Thursday. I'm wondering if I should take a patch with me to Michigan just so I can keep the E level up after the wear-off starts (until I can get the shot). Anyone ever do this?

I am not a medical professional, but I would not recommend supplementing your E. Just stick to the prescribed treatment. If you deviate you could cause problems. Just my two cents.

Stick to the plan. Your endo needs to be sure of your regime so the next blood test results are valid

Your both right. After thinking it over it was kind of a bad idea to begin with, and the tests are 5 weeks afterwards. I can live with the low e for a few extra days.
