Thank you

I thought I was taking a high dose but I am on 2000mg once a day for a minimum of 60 days.

I am seeing major improvemets compared to the orals. I have currently done 40 days and see doc next week, hoping he will extend it to 90 days.

My stomach can't even imagine going back on orals [Frown]
