Hi Ken!
Yes, you are not alone...WE are not alone.
Now that you are giving water therapy a go, something else that I have recently discovered: SALT. So much of the food we take in, contains salt in some or other form. However, it does not appear to be salt in all its forms which result in clusters, but particularly salt in raw form (it might even be specific types of salt, I'l go into this a.s.a.p). Salt in chips, on peanuts, on barbeque, on eggs, in soup, etc. is a definite NO NO NO for me. It is starting to point me in the direction that anything that triggers the body's "water or thirst mechanism", such as salt, alcohol, high suger dosages (chocolates, etc.), are related to cluster formation. Why in us (cluster sufferers) I do as yet not know...but will find out soon. Water is doing a miraculous thing for me, and so is the avoidance of salt and alcohol and high sugar intake (although the latter I could not prove above all reasonable doubt). Keep me posted, the pieces of the puzzle is starting to get together with so many people reporting on this message board, in e.mails and on ICQ. My ICQ number is: 17232388. Good luck, thanx for your participation on the message board. Painless times for you!!
