Yesterday I was watching Oprah and Dr Oz was on. Guess what he was talking about? RLS!
He says it is a lack of Calcium and Magnesium. Maybe you could do trial and error. Start off slowly and then increase. Also Trudi said it could be Magnesium and Potasium. Definitely worth a try vrs those strong meds. It could take a while till you get the amounts correct, so be patient. I also wonder if taking them at bedtime would be more effective.
Thanks for asking about Danny. Yes he is still doing NS/ND. It will be 6 months on the 23rd, but who's counting! He is feeling good. Still is stiff, has pain from time to time, but all in all,better. He went on vacation to California and found it was difficult to stay on the diet. When he returned home, he was complaining that his back was KILLING him. So there really is sometihing to this diet. He got right back into it and is functioning again. He is still healing from pilonidal cyst surgery. It takes about 12 weeks to completely heal and was quite unpleasant, to say the least. I am also wondering whether having an infection in the boday creates more pain for AS.
I hope you can find an answer to your pain.
