Well, I'm now especially glad I went with my gut by taking the full reduction and not increasing yet. Thank you, @Briana + Binx for encouraging me to try maintaining the dose like I wanted to. 7 straight hours of greens again! One (literally like 5 seconds long) blip of a 49 that I don't think was really there. I did have to help him surf, but after a few snacks he managed to stay over 50 for the rest of the cycle.
ETA: I totally forgot this part, but he didn't want to eat his +1, +2 or +3 snacks this AM. I thought he might be nauseated so I put 2 mg of ondansetron in some 12% and he ate that right up, and then immediately went for his lunch. I doubt it was enough time to work but it must have whet his appetite and then the meds kicked in and he ate normally for the rest of the day. Phew. It makes me so nervous when he loses interest in eating again.
With how absolutely terrible that whole extended limes situation felt last week I hadn't even really considered that maybe it was a good thing, but it just occurred to me tonight that maybe that was our breakthrough dose and that's why we had to reduce so fast? I see so many mentions of "racing down the dosing ladder." Is that maybe what happened? The limes came because his body got with the program and is doing so much better? Just trying to make sense of it.
Either way, amazing cycle today. Really hoping that we'll get some more like it.
