Re: 8/13 Max Amps 131
Good morning Dale,
At the risk of sounding like I really don't know what I'm talking about.... ;-)
I'm writing off the yellows yesterday to "road trip stress". But I see lots of blues the past 5 cycles. I think you mentioned this on the tail end of yesterday's condo as well:

Max went really fast from 2.25u to 1.0u, and as that was happening, the depot (I think) was still affecting his numbers, making the lower doses act like they were higher than they really were? Since then, you've had to skip three times, and you've been shooting .75. I think the shed has finally "settled" to a lower level, and what you are seeing now is what .75 will actually do for him. If that's the case, then I think you are right... it might be time to go back to 1u, or find a dose between .75u and 1u that works.
I think I'd do that either tonight or tomorrow morning, whichever cycle you are able to monitor more closely. Of course, if Max happens to read this over your shoulder, he'll throw a 60 at you by +4 today. :lol:
(If I'm way off base, that's okay, at least I'll sound like I know what I'm talking about the next time).

Plus 2 is 68 down from amps of 131. Impressive.

Max asked for food about 10 minutes before I was going to test him again. So, I tested him. He was at 57, and he's eating LC now. He may not get his reduction . . .
Now, if I could only convince Emma that the litterbox is not an indoor sand box!

Carl, I thought it was your head that was broken . . . oh, no . . .that was your shin, your head was spared - for now. nailbite_smile
Well, it certainly looks like Max is having an early nadir right around +3.5 or +4, and that this dose is not going to get him another reduction. I'll stick with it so that we can go to Sea World tomorrow, but it's probably going to have to be bumped up at least a bit. What do you all think?

Fifty-seven is very close to 49 -- probably within the margin of error. If I raise the dose tomorrow evening, it should be very slight. I don't think that going back to 1.0u is a good idea?

I'm off to bed. May be the last chance I get to have some reasonable sleep for a while. Have a good night everyone.
I wouldn't increase the dose, IMHO. Id give him a few more cycles at this dose .

I agree with Marje. It looks like Max still likes this dose, so another couple of cycles at least? And if you have to go up, can you find a spot between .75u and 1u? I'd need a 20x magnifying lens to see that (bifocals are hell!), but maybe your eyes are closer to 20/20 than mine are. :smile:
