Have started new 14 days of NPC today with higher dose of 1/2 tsp 2 times a day (15mg per 1/8 tsp). So will see how it goes this time round.
In the instuctions that came with the cream it explains how to measure an 1/8 tsp by putting little finger into the jar 1/2 way up to nail - about the size of a garden pea. Which is what I did two times a day first time round = 1/4 tsp daily. Not ideal measuring technique when everyone's fingers are different sizes!, but then don't know if it's poss to get a measuring spoon that small. Went out yesterday to three different supermarkets to find some measuring spoons (the usual sizes)...an easy task so to speak. Could I find any?! Don't know what they use here then to measure things when baking!! Times like these when I wish I was back in the UK, everything's so much easier!
So today using my little finger and a normal tea spoon in my draw I tried to work out how much I need. Looking in the tub there seems to be quite a lot left. Worked out I think I need 3 x little finger dunks to make 1/4 tsp...so maybe last time I used it I was way under the minimum amount (I do have a small little finger
).
Oh the ease of the creams with pumps
(though chose this brand as more potent than the ones I found with pumps). Will have to keep searching for measuring spoons!!
