Troubleshooting Progress Issues              
Developed by the Guai-Support Management Team to help Guai'ers with recovery issues. 

Editor: Tesa Marcon

This Troubleshooter is a process in the form of a Questionnaire to help ascertain the reasons for slow or seemingly stalled progress on the protocol.  It can do so by helping you focus your mind on what you need to check.

    Guaifenesin, etc.?

    Guai?

4. How long did you stay on INCREASED DOSE?

5. Have you DECREASED your DOSE?  If so when did you do
    so?

1. Are you being mapped?

2. When was your LATEST mapping?

Outer left thigh = vastus lateralis = 1 x 18 - 24 inches long;

Front left thigh = Rectus femoris = 2 or 3 x 8-12 inches long.

These are  large, smooth swellings NOT small, rounded lesions.  Dr St Amand says that the left thigh will clear in the first month.  Be sure that your mapper is not including the left hip area; sometimes that does not clear for years. Only the muscle portion counts for the anticipated, early reversal; see http//www.innerbody.com/htm/body.html

6. If all the lumps on the surface have not cleared which ones are still present?

Members who need a little extra help might find this useful when working with a Buddy.   If you want to,  you can copy and paste it into an email and send whatever portion you feel up to filling out.  Perhaps it will be just some of it.   Buddies might ask you some of these questions when attempting to help you.
