Aw, Pam... If I could have those things so that you could be pain-free, I would honestly do it.  Hang in there. Sorry to hear that your foot is being difficult. 
Casey & Bob_P: Good luck and PFDAN's.

Hey Jeep,
Am I reading your posts right ? You started a thread on 1 March with only shadows up until Sat when you got 1 hit and have shadowed since. Do you think this may just be a fluke that might not be a cycle starting ? I'm saying this cuz now you're saying you're PF after 8 days. I'm trying to keep up with the Kudzu thing but data is hard to follow if ya know what i mean. One day I will start a cycle and want to give the Kudzu a try if data shows it to be effective. Otherwise my Trex does just fine.
Hope you stay PF and it IS just a fluke.

No offense, Blue...but I hope it's the kudzu.
On the kudzu thread, seasonalboomer and shiraj are episodics who have found it to pretty much stop their cycle. I strongly encourage you to try in in lieu of the triptans next cycle. IMHO

Yes Nani i've been reading the Kudzu thread. Just not totally convinced yet is all. Lucky for me I missed this year's cycle and won't be trying the Kudzu for awhile. I will definately keep an eye out for results as they continue to come in.

Well, it seems I spoke too soon: After being off of the kudzu since Sunday, (I took only one dose on Saturday), I got nailed last night. This is a strange cycle, anyway. Instead of being hit three and four times a day, as is the norm, I've been getting hit only once a day. Last night's festivities kicked off at 12:45 a.m. and lasted for about a half hour.
Back on the kudzu today....

Okay, I decided to stop tapering after my lunch dose yesterday and stop altogether. And with un-f&*#@ing believable coincidence to Frank, got hit last night about midnight. On the BRIGHTSIDE...it was only a Kip 3 to 4 and lasted for about 45 minutes. I don't usually get little ones, most of them fully blooming into 6-10's --- so, as I say, not too bad. almost exactly like the ones I got the first couple nights on Kudzu.
So i'm going to stick it out for a few days off the kudzu and see if the cycle wraps up completely.
This is not all that disappointing to me. I definitely have results from the Kudzu, and this continued behavior indicates that this stuff is doing something. I'm really trying to test things here to see what the actual effects are -- and since I take nothing else this may give some indication of the potential of Kudzu. We'll see how tonight goes staying off.
My major concern with Kudzu is whether it is blunting the effect, kind of like white noise, leaving you with a hypothalamajingy that's still on the fritz. Which isn't altogether a bad thing, but I so look forward to a cycle's departure that i'm obsessing on this concern.

Sorry you guys got hit again, Frank and Scott. 
I don't think I'll be brave enough to stop anytime soon. In fact I ordered about a 4 month supply yesterday.
I hear what you're saying about "blunting" , Scott. Personally...I don't care how it works, as long as it does with few or no side effects. After upping my dose Monday, I can say that the last 2 days have been 98% PF.
Scott, please don't forget to update the other thread, OK?
PF wishes!!!! nani

Still PF after almost two weeks on kudzu. With the exception of that strange music-through-the-door shadowy business on Saturday (kind of like a shaodw of a shadow), I have felt GREAT!
I know it is the kudzu since I do not use anything else... Although I do think my little O2 tanks are getting lonely.

No big deal, Nani. This is exactly what I went off of the kudzu to find out. I'll keep taking it, but I'm also going to play around with the dose. Today, I'll probably only take two doses and see if I can get by with that. If I get hit tonight, I'll take three doses tomorrow. And so forth and so on... PFDAN's to everyone. Congrats, Ricky and Hirv.

Thanks. Yesterday, I took two doses: One in the morning, and one just prior to bedtime. I was pain-free yesterday and didn't get hit last night, either. *genuflecting before the kudzu gods...*

Sounds like it covers up the symptoms and it doesn't take it away. If you can't get off of it without them coming right back and the reason its less attack is the fact that some of the med is still in your system.
Don't get me wrong PF sounds great but It sounds like your going to be on Kudzu all the time or through your cycle to keep it that way. Keep a good level in your body to keep the pain under control.

um...so what, Kim? Isn't it better to take something that will let you have a pain-free cycle, than to worry about have to "be on" kudzu for an extended period? Maybe I'm interpreting your post wrong but the results are proving that Kudzu has become the most encouraging preventative we've seen yet. So who cares if sufferers have to continue taking it for the duration of their cycle, if there are so few side effects?
I'm not trying to be combative, please don't think that. I'm just saying that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'd rather take kudzu than any of the other crap I've tried.

Agree, Margi. I'd rather take kudzu than to take Verapamil which fucks up my fine motor coordination and kills my already horrible short-term memory, or having to shoot Imitrex, which sends me into tachycardia, gives me murderous shadows for hours on end, and stretches my cycle out to nearly double what it normally is. With kudzu, I am 95% pain-free, which is more than verapamil or depakote EVER did for me, and without all of the dodgy side effects, and the hits that I DO get last no longer than 30 minutes, and have never gone above a Kip-7. If I had to take this stuff everyday for the rest of my life to be pain-free, I would do so. I'm going to take it throughout the month of March, at the minimum possible dosage, and then go off of it again to see if I am out of cycle. So far, I am ecstatic!
