I still don't feel too well but the kidney pain from this morning is getting better. Equal to it is muscle aches from yesterday and a sore throat foretelling a cold I think. I thought about it all afternoon and decided to stop taking PM for a couple days. (remember, I've only taken it for 3 days so far) I'll probably start again on Saturday morning with ONE 500mg per day for a week and see how it goes. Then go to (2) 500mg doses daily on the following Saturday and beyond. ...I guess that's the recommended procedure anyway isn't it? I think I was thinking I'd eventually need to get north of 2000mg daily so instead of starting at 500mg daily and ramping up 500mg each week, I decided to start at 1000 and work up. Now I'm regretting that decision. However on the bright side, it feels like my kidney went up a cup size or two 
I'm going to work on drinking more water - something I know I don't get enough of regardless of any herbs I take and I'll give more thought to a late afternoon dosing instead of before bed.
