Wild Lettuce
I started taking Wild Lettuce at 450 mg every 8 hours, but due to my condition and amount of pain need to take more. I am presently taking 900 mg every 8 hours for severe arthritic pain along with 600 mg of ibuprofen and have been taking this dosage for over a year. I have no side effects....not even drowsiness. It also works as well now as it did in the beginning. I can tell no difference whether I take it on an empty stomach or with food. It seems to work equally well. I am allergic to 90% of pain medications on the market, so the fact that I can take this with no side effects is a marvel. I have 4 autoimmune diseases and my system is more fragile than most. I am 76 years old, and need less than normal dosage for most herbs or medications, so this seems to agree with me better than most herbs. I also have a full panel of blood work done every three months and have seen no changes in blood work including liver or kidney studies. I thought this information might be helpful in case people ask about taking a larger dose when one pill does not work. Each individual is different, but at least you have one person for comparison.
