Brian,
I lasted 21 days STRICT NSD, no dairy, no sugar. I didn't notice any symptom relief but attribute that to the fact that I didn't stick with it long enough. My problem was that I wasted away - as it sounds like you are. I have a physically demanding occupation and I lost so much strength, energy and weight that I had to add whole grains back into my diet. I dropped from 135 to 119 (I'm 5'8") during that 21 days and had zero fat reserves before the diet change. It was pathetic. In the past couple of weeks since I went back to carbs, I'm putting muscle back on and have energy to work out. I'm back on NSAIDs to curb the pain and hope I can revisit the NSD at a later time. I'm doing the LSD right now.
I'm going to give the Radon therapy a try in June. If I don't see any relief, I'll try to figure out a way to attack the NSD again. But, I just may not have the body type that can handle it. Low blood sugar and a high metabolism...
Keep us posted. I'm following all of you NSD rookie's trials.
Brad
