So far, my research has turned up the following: derms use 3 mg per cc of triamcinolone acetonide (that's what is in the cortisone shots). Has anyone considered doing this themselves? I'm SO tired of dealing with my doctor. He's very rude, and it just seems to me that this is not a very complicated/dangerous procedure. I would rather do it myself, at home. I, by the way, volunteer at a syringe exchange, so obtaining needles won't be an issue. Any thoughts?
