Thanks for your words of encouragement. I too have slowly increased my dosage & trying hard not to take Advil very often. My biggest complaint are the headaches. So far I am up to 5 clicks and anxious to increase.
I had to discard my pen yesterday & it bothered me seeing so much more serum was in the vial. Obviously, when you are not using the dosed 8 clicks for 30 days, there is going to be left over. I get it just can't believe 30 days is the limit!
I took @windyshores idea & called Radius regarding my concern. The woman I spoke to was not so positive about refrigerating the next pen to get more days out of it. I am, however, going to refrigerate this new pen & stretch it out for at least a few more days. The cost of my medication was astronomical, I hated to waste it :(.
Helpful to know others are dealing with these issues too, unfortunately.

Radius cannot tell you that it is okay to keep it longer @bella0923. Both my docs have said it is okay. And actually I had to take a break for 2 weeks during COVID and I did talk to Radius and they said that since it had been in the fridge the whole time, I could still use it. I believe my docs said an extra two weeks was okay as long as it was kept cold the whole time. Do the shot and put it right back in.
