Just a quick note: Returned to Jachymov to do the Radon Treatment in the beginning of January. This year's trip was so much better because my wife and I knew what to expect and were prepared with loads of good books, DVDs and portable DVD player. We had a really great time there!
Anyway, last year's treatment lasted until mid-December--Had my first flare in a long time the week before Christmas (almost forgot I had AS until then). Went to the Radium Palace in Jachymov in the beginning of January for 21 days and by late Feb was feeling the curative effects. Now it's almost April and I am feeling 95.5% normal and looking forward to another pain-free 10 months! Holy crap, it's working!
FYI: The doctor told me that October was the best month to come to the Radium Palace because that's when a whole group of European AS sufferers take over the complex and party it up while doing their Radon treatments...sounds like fun!
Already planning next year's trip...hope the dollar gets stronger (thank God they don't use the Euro yet)...
Ciao!
Luigi
