Hi Tony,
I'm sorry you're going through this torture. I was just wondering how MUCH water you tried, when you say you tried the water treatment?
For my husband, it took 2-3 days of total flooding to break his cycle, and it was completely gone after a week. By flooding, I mean a glass of water every half hour while awake, then again if he awoke in the night. He still got attacked during those two days - water isn't going to stop an attack, but by the end of the second day, he would go about 7 hours between attacks which was a real accomplishment. By the third day, it was down to about 12-14 hours. By the end of the week, no attacks at all.
Also, are you on any other meds?
I hope you find some relief soon.
