Title: Kudzu Succcess and a Question
Post by Bent on Jan 31^st, 2006, 7:21am

I experience a five week episode every 20 months. I tried Kudzu and so far it has worked wonders. Previously, I only had success with steriods or aborting with Imitrex. Verap did not work for me. Question, do I have to continue the Kudzu after my episode. Or, has the episode passed? I have no side effects other than a little gas.

I love a happy kudzu story. :D
It should be fine to stop the kudzu once you're sure the episode is over. May I suggest tapering off, so that if the CHs return, you wont be starting over?
good luck and pain free wishes, nani

Bent, it's wonderful that you've found something which works with your ch. I hope it will work in the future as well! :)

Best wishes & PF days,
Sanna

I just came off a three week cycle and decided to taper off. I tapered off over 6 days and had a couple long shadows while doing so but am completely off today and everything seems well. My gut feeling is that had I just completely stopped I would have been in for a rough ride.

A cup of hot tea will help with those shadows.

I'm another Kudzu success story. I tapered off the first of January, when I got my Rx for 02.

Things have been good!!!

Good luck...

Hi Folks, I've never heard about your "Kudzu" stuff but as it seems to work for some of you I guess I could give it a try.
Could you then please tell how I could get it, which dosage, if it is sold as a medicine or as a plant, how to use it ...
Thanx for your help and best wishes for those of you that are pain free now.
