Hello Carol, I have given up trying to understand why my "drugs" work for a few hours or a complete day. I've been on the LS since November. It becomes a complicated process to have to drink each hour. Then there are times when I require a half dose every 1/2 hour. Then there are times I oversleep my 0600 drink and have to take a double Then there are times I require a double in the evening (in caps purposely) THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH LS NOW IS UPSET STOMACH AND HAVEING TO VISIT THE W.C. OFTEN. Three times a day I gulp MYLANTA but it doesnt help. When I first started LS we dilluted OJ 50/50 with water. the LS didnt work until we went to straight OJ. I stopped the Ascorbic Acid flakes it made the LS too strong. Now we're trying to dilute it 70/30(water) and its too soon to tell if its working. That needs a few days trial. Does anyone else on LS have a similar complaint?? The LS is besides the other 32 medicine pills and 8 Vit. C/E's TO BE HONEST, I WATCH WAT I EAT BUT I CANT BE BOTHERED TO TIME MY EATING AND MY LS DRINKING. After 12 years, I know that no matter how careful I try to be with what I eat and when I eat it the PD overrides the rules. 21 days to P DAY in Toronto.!!!!! The PD pains X anxiety = PD pain x 2.
