hit me where i live, Mark!

i am coming to the conclusion that there's a water amount:body weight relationship (e.g. the bigger you are, the more you need to make it work). i'm about 170-175 lbs (varys depending on how much water i can ingest in a day!) ... and i drink 6-8 liters per day (roughly 2 gallons). it kicks my HAs down significantly on the pain scale ... like from 8s and 9s to about 3s or 4s.

so my impression is you might want to bump up your intake a bit ... figuring you're an average sized guy. and i've found that if you chill the water (not icewater - but chilled to rege fridge temp) it works better as an abortive.

there's somethin' to this hydration thing ... but i can't figure out why it doesn't work for LeeM and others ...
get a catheter - i live in the bathroom.
