Week 7...
I forgot my evening dose last night and got hit at 10:30 PM. This is the first hit with pain in almost 2 months. Only lasted about 20 minutes but went up to a 7.  I have no O2...ice didn't help, either.
I wont be forgetting again....

You've got that right about the drinking! I had a couple of light beers on Saturday, with no major hits, just some small shadows. So, on Sunday, thought it would be OK to have a couple more - WRONG! Sunday night was a real killer. Felt almost like I was back to square one. But, I will fight on! (alas, without a beer)

Yeah.... Nothing like a Kip-7 to drive home a grim reminder of what we're doing and why. Sorry you got slammed, Nani. 
I'm going to continue taking the kudzu for another week or so, and then begin coming off of it to see where I stand, as far as this cycle is concerned.

also sorry to hear about the hit.
good luck frank, coming off. I believe that if your cycle is up, it is up and that the kudzu will not extend it. At least that was my experience. breathe deep and think good thoughts.

Yep I learned that lesson myself. Dont forget to take it. I now have a second bottle at work and one at home so that I dont have to worry if I forget to throw it in my purse.
Sorry hun.
I have noticed that the bigger hits I am getting the trex is not helping as much. Doubt it has anything to do with the kuzdu through. I always have this problem when my HA ramp up. Nothing helps them until they lesson on thier own.

Tia, the trex might be ineffective with the kudzu. Ozzy's wife had that effect when she tried it for migraines (a few pages back). She found the trex worked if it was at least 4 hours after kudzu. Probably why it makes 'shrooms ineffective. (Pinky posted about it here somewhere.) It affects the same receptors in the brain. Thanks for the wishes, everyone.  hugs, nani

I really dont want to think about choseing between the two. I dont go for 4 hours between doses of kudzu because I dont take 2 tabs at the same time.
I'm gonna keep trying for now. I cant do without trex atm. So if I had to chose right now I would drop the kudzu, but on the other hand the kudzu is helping some of the lighter Ch.... Damn why cant it be easy.

Well took the information to the Dr. she was very open and said it was worth the try. So I am off the Verap. and tonight started the Kudzu. Then kind I have said to take 60mg!!! I am also trying the theory about Indocine and CPH. Got an increase in my Liters of O2. My Dr. was loving the wealth of info. I was able to provide. It was great. Well I will keep you posted.
Having a ruff night of it tonight but it is only the first dose.
But got a trigger tonight it was cheep hair spray used at the nursing home it about knocked me over.
PF wishes to all. Kim

Kim, I just noticed this. Most of us are taking more than 3000 mgs a day. Start with a low dose and increase as needed. I don't think 60mgs will do much. Then again...it might for you. Keep us posted. This is all still being tested.

I still vehemently object to the fact that all participants are NOT taking the same brand at the same recommended dose.
For the record.

Kim, Planetary Formulas recommended dosage is:
TWO tablets, (750mg ea.) three times a day, putting you at 2250mg/day. Good luck, and I hope you get some relief.
I've been 100% pain-free for over two weeks, so I took my last dose yesterday morning, and now I'm playing the waiting game with the beastie. If he shows up, back on the kudzu I go. If he doesn't, this will be the shortest cycle ever, for me. *crossing my fingers*

Other than a couple light shadows, the Kudzu is working for me.
Been on it since Feb 24th. Nature's Way 613mg.
I haven't missed a dose.....but I did have a light shadow when I didn't take it at the same time as usual.
All in all....has been great for me.
