Title: More on Kudzu
Post by Guido on Mar 27th, 2012 at 3:17pm
Awhile back I updated how the bucking feast has returned a-episode and the hits are more frequent in a 24 hour period. Perhaps, perhaps not have I gone chronic. My o2 (now at 25lpm and a new Optimask) is no longer a sure thing. I have  Sumatriptan nasal (I get from India at $4.00 a dose) that works well and I have become unafraid to dose 3-5 times in a 24. Logic and caution have no place at a K 8 or better. I now also have the magic growing as I write and soon I hope to be rid of the beast altogether. It has taken me 12 years to make this decision mostly because of the success rate now documented. But that will be then and this is now.
Three days ago I purchased a bottle of Kudzu "natures way" 60 caps @ 633mg a cap. I was unimpressed after the first 24 hrs but now... my hits have become less frequent and less intense there by making the abort take less time. I am taking two caps every three to four hours (more is better). Hopefully this is a trend not a fad.
So that's my story at this moment.

That is similar to my experience with Kudzu several years ago, except I didn't take it quite that often.  I think I was up to four doses a day of 1.  It worked really well for me for a while until I tried something else and had to stay off of it for a while.  It never worked again after that.  I am thinking about trying it again now though.  I've been off of it for about 2 yrs I think.  I used to keep records, but after almost 35 yrs I don't bother any more.

Let me add, I think you have to be off Kudzu before using the home grown remedies.  Check it out to be sure.
