Hello, Mab. Nice to meet you, Ireland, eh?
I'm sorry you are feeling so rotten and discouraged.
Can I ask, this herbal tea that the doc keeps changing, why doesn't he change the acupuncture and the physio??? as that seems to be what is aggravating the flares?
Is this a special herbal tea that can not be bought at stores? just curious.
I have been doing the NSD a little over two weeks now [and I am by no means an expert]. And I know if I eat something that causes me pain that it is better NOT to eat anything else that I know is definitely gonna prolong that pain! {this is my strong, stern, Mom voice talking!!}

[although it sure is tempting! I already blew it and hurt so why not have the peanut butter toast?!?! that is my personal craving!!]

Do read more posts on the site today, it always cheers me up! and I learn a lot, too!
I hope you are able to enjoy your holiday--what country will you be visiting?
Rita
