hi there,
this time round (4th and 5th flagle pulse) have felt that anti-poryphoria measures have worked better - since I am now doing them properly!!!!!
I take the cholestyramine sometimes, charcoal others. I take lots of B12 (so delicious!) and I try to remember the Emergen C/glucose drink!
What I am unsure about is when I should do the Vitamin C flush. Is it just a feeling of being weighed down despite above measures? Does it tend to be last on people's list? Just wondering.
I still feel weak and fatigued after my last pulses - but the anti-porphoria measures I am using at least seem to help deal with the sudden angry impulses and vile headaches.

Vitamin C flush is a bit
Vitamin C flush is a bit drastic for some people. If you have IBSi or diverticulosis I would be very cautious about doing it. Anything that interferes with my lower GI tract I am cautious about. It will also mean that you have to be near a toilet for the day...
Hopefully, other people who have actually experienced one might give you the benefit of their experience.

yes, i did one a few days
yes, i did one a few days ago, and was surprised a little. This time I did it properly with Buffered vitamin C powder, and you are right. Though it was very easy in a way, it did feel a little drastic. I did it in the second part of the day so that at least I could go to bed after and recover! But yes i take your point.

I certainly would agree
I certainly would agree with Michele's cautions, but it really saved me to have it at about day three of pulses for the first year or so. I use it only rarely now, but when I need a drastic measure it really comes through. I'd usually do it first thing in the morning so I wouldn't clear out all my meds using it, then could get on with my day. I didn't need recovery as it really made me feel lots better.
