Shannon's UMS Journal

[Shannon]

Hi Shannon,

I posted the below reply to you in Keith's journal but you never replied so maybe you missed it ?

Yes.

  I am a bit confused on what you are feeling is the optimal usage for UMS.  Your new post says you are using it 1 loop/day and then off for only 2 days.  In another post you said the bloom does not even start until the 3rd day, and continues from there.  I am attempting to do the 1 loop for 3 days and then rest for 7 days.  I have not felt the bloom on the 3rd day.  I have had some fatigue, but not every day, and some of that could just be the high heat of the summer weather.  

I don't know what optimal usage is, other than what the models indicated. Right now I'm presuming the best option is 3x1, 7x0.  However, I am doing it a little different to experiment on myself and GF.

Some of the reports I'm getting suggest that bloom starts kicking on on day #3 of rest. That's part of what I'm experiencing, too.

Shannon,
What happens with the bloom if you don't take a 3 day rest ? What if you take only a 1 or 2 day rest ?

Exactly what I am attempting to answer by doing this.

It seems like I only need that and Keith has been going gangbusters on UMS and only now is he needing rest days. For me, I can only handle 1 loop per day. I tried 2 per day and I felt a lot of fatigue the next day. I am still trying to determine my best usage schedule, but I haven't taken more than 1 day of rest since you changed the listening instructions. The first week I did take the 7 day rest after the first session.

What have you experienced from 7 days off, and only taking 1 day off?

In my case, I expose myself and GF at the same time, so my usage patterns have to be the best option for both of us, which may or may not be the best option for either of us individually.  I'm attempting to balance the E3 module's effects without letting it fade out for her.

After this for a round or two, I'll be experimenting with a different days off interval.  The goal is to learn as quickly as possible what the best usage patterns are so I can offer experience based advice that is valid.

I'll say this, though: the module designed to get you to figure out and run the best settings by yourself is obviously not working as designed yet.
