I have been in a vicious flare (husband having to shower/dress me) since cold weather set in late November and have been trying the no starch diet. I have seen some results w/diet for sure, but it is difficult and I have cheated a couple times only to be painfully reminded why I tried the diet in the first place.

So upon further investigation as to when results kicked in for people from radon therapy it is usually 2-3 months post-mine. Jan. 10 will be 3 months for me and I am still hopeful to see some more results.

This past week I had 2 nights in a row where my brain wouldn't shut off and my arms/legs felt like they were charged with electricity = no sleep. I'm not sure if this is mine related. I took NO meds either of these strange nights. It just brought back the memory of the electrical feeling my first night in the mine.

Some good things are that my neck and back are still 100% fine.
My feet ocasinally flare with eating starches. Even off the starches though my arms/hands/wrists are soo bad...typing one handed...can't button up my own jeans.

Take care all. Wishing you all good health for the new year!


That is a huge drop on the CRP wow. I am sorry it was not enough and did not help with the pain but no question some of the inflammation was taken out with that number.

Best of luck
