Thinking about tempting the beast
Oct 11^th, 2013 at 9:16pm

Have had several Pf nights this week.havent had this many solid nights of sleep in almost 4 months. Have shadows maybe 2 or 3 times a day. Nothing above a Kip 2 or 3 in almost two weeks.really think my cycle is ending.here is my dilemma : there is a tasty cold brew in my fridge that just looks at me every time I open the door. I hate for it to keep sitting there. It seems......lonely. Should I risk my good fortune or give it a couple more weeks? Opinions?

As for me, normally this season is my worst nightmare but since being on the vitamin D3 Regime not a sign of a shadow, touch wood. So i risked having a wee dram and a and still nothing. So if your on the D3 Regime maybe take a punt, if not then don't. Cheers Hoppy.

When I think my cycle is over it's a shot of Jack Daniels......with the oxygen tank rigged and sitting next to my chair just in case! Great to hear you passed the final exam. Joe

Being my 1st experience I'm a bit nervous to completely accept it's over. I have been 100% PF, not even a shadow since Monday. I want a beer!

By the time I hit 300 I knew if beasty was gone or not. Sadly it's very specific to people so the first few times it's trial and error until you get a feel for your cycles. Joe
