Yuck on the stain Leslie, and I drink my sludge at dose time it is like licking your plate clean.......only gross :)

That is cool Bobb, I haven't used any tea just soaked in water and a small amount of lemon juice for 12 hours (RC seeds so a lot more than 2) and drank the mixture up sludge and all. The tea sounds a little more genteel, still doesn't sound like a sput though. Can you grind say 10 RC seeds up and place under the tongue for maintenance instead of a full dose? And yes tingeling you are the kid, one's man paper is another man's (or in your case Woman's) blotter.

Thank you Alleyoop!!! Guess that would be kinda gross with crushed up seeds??

Birdman, So sorry to hear that!!! Unbelievable you stayed away from the trex during it. By the way what the hell is a SPUT????

Hey Tim, All I can say is hang in there and by the way on my third cycle many years ago the pred did NOTHING for me. I think a lot of meds lose their efficacy for us over time (I pray not our busters). I have some cold ones waiting for you when you have the success I know you will have, you are too determined not to. David

My two cents, Amen to 02 !!!!!!!!

I didn't get it either, guess I am showing my age ;D ;D

My first beer last week was Blackened Vodoo, I was out with the family at a Cajun Resturant. Very nice taste to it.

Lee Ann, We call your husbands the "Jack Daniels" test LOL :) David

MAJOR trigger for me when in cycle, no effect when I am not, that is why you will see a lot of busters do the "beer test" to see if the remission has taken, luckily for me I passed my test last week LOL.

I believe another test is scheduled for the fall at Harvard, it is mentioned on another thread but I can't recall where. If I am in cycle in the fall (I hope not) I am going to see if I can volunteer to be a subject, might as well since I have been experimenting on myself as it is.

Tim, Glad you got some sleep finally, hang in there and take care of the pain and stop worrying about not being able to bust yet, your time will come. Leslie, Did you really say poor Tigers LOL, I am sure that made you happy last night.

The more the merrier!! David :)

Amen to Leslie!! So sorry Mets have to play the Twins this week Leslie.

I hear you Tim, you got to do what you got to do to get some sleep and sanity. I think where I was lucky was I found the dosing information before my cycle got completely ramped up to my normal 6-10 a day and throughout the night. Also I had my 02 set up already in place as I own my own regulator and I always have a tank or two around just in case. Keep me updated. David

Now I am jealous Tim, good luck with the next attempt and your farming. David

Clustermom, My heart is breaking for you, I have a 17 year old daughter and to think of her dealing with this nightmare makes me shudder. Please let him know he is not a hypocrite, medicine like ours has been used for thousands of years before the powers that be decided what is legal and what isn't. The name coca cola itself comes from the fact that they used coke leaves to make there product as in cocaine and Thomas Jefferson and George Washington both grew hemp which is what we call pot. Native Americans used peyote, mushrooms and seeds as medicine and spiritual enhancers for centuries. My thoughts and prayers are with you for a successful bust. David

Tim, Coooooool news my friend, love the excited tag. Look for my update on my thread tomorrow, very encouraging news coming from upstate NY to you. Your Compadre in Busting David

My 2 cents. 51yrs old Cluster head since 1996 or so, ex smoker most of the time (love one with a cocktail). I exercise almost everyday, weight 170 height 6ft, fairly good shape for an old guy. Gave up pot 20 years ago when it started giving me panic attacks, cocaine user in my 20s when I worked in the music industry. Only head trauma was when I was in the fourth grade and it was a blow to the forehead that required 3 stitches so I don't think that was significant, social drinker and never more than once or twice a week and most of the time less than that. Ok maybe that was more like 4 cents. David

Hi Sandy, I meant to say first bust but 5 doses, that is why I was happy to see your maintenance schedule. And yes my hits were fast and furious after the first 2-3 doses but after that the post dose days were minor hits and easily aborted with 02. I have been PF now since Sunday :) so I am not going to dose again for awhile, what do you suggest once a month? Thanks David

Sandy, Having just finished my first bust (hopefully) with the RC seeds it was great to see some advice on how to maintain the preemptive strikes. If you find any changes in dosage or schedule please let me know. Thank you, David

Tim, Positive vibes again from your nothern NY Compadre, as I always say be patient and this too shall pass. On my third straight PFD, going to try the Beer test friday night and then when you are done have one with you at a ball game!

Nice result, maybe the bust and the melatonin combined?

Raquel, I don't have insurance either but my local oxygen company was very reasonable about it. $135 to set me up and then $10 to fill my e tanks and $20 for my m60. Check around the yellow pages for a Lincare office and if they aren't in your neck of the woods try the other one's listed. You never know you may get somebody who has dealt with a cluster head before. The one thing you will need is a prescription for a high flow regulator, ask fro 25 lpm if you can get it but don't settle for less than 15 lpm. If it doesn't work out go the welders route, it has worked out for a lot of people here. Keep posting and let us know how you are doing. David

I know not real pleasant to drink but we do what we must don't we. Honestly after the taste of crushed seeds in water had me gagging the ginger wasn't half as bad. ;D
