Yes 400mg is the recommended, but I have had some degree of achy joints and bones for over 2 years now. About 3 months ago, I started watching my ankles and found that they were swelling. I have had heart bypass so when I went to my ONC we discussed this and he is having me take OTC water pills and this has helped some. This has to be self-regulated to stay within the recommended dosage range, but it is working for now. Yes, I have remained PCRU for 2 years without relapse.
