4) How many years have you had cluster headaches? 20+
5) If episodic, how many cycles in a typical year, what time of year, and how long? One per year typically, 3 to 5 months

9) What dose did you take during the first 24 hours that you started on kudzu? 2 caps 3x a day
10) Did a change in your cluster headache pattern occur after taking kudzu? If so, how soon after you started did it occur? Yes, first night pain-free, then two pain free days. Headaches returned, but only one or two a day and very mild
11) How certain are you about the answer to question 10 (scale of 0-10, where 0 is not at all certain, 10 is completely certain). 10
12) At the end of the first week on kudzu, how effective would you rate kudzu (0-10, where zero is not at all effective, 10 is complete remission)? 8
13) How certain are you about the answer to question 12 (scale of 0-10, where 0 is not at all certain, 10 is completely certain). 10

16) On a scale of 0-10, how intolerable are the side effects? (0-no side effects, perfectly tolerable; 10 - extremely unpleasant). Could be 0 (no side effects) but if it did contribute to my MI, that would be a 10.
16) Are there other observations, comments or questions that you would like to add?? Was pleased with the results.
