    I have sciatica and am a nurse. When I get a flair up usually from my job it might last 6 weeks. Sometimes for me the only help is NSAIDs therapy to reduce the inflammation around the nerve. You need Ibuprofen 800mg every 8 hours. Assuming you have a healthy liver and refrain from alcohol during this time. It may take as long as two weeks .

    I'm glad to find this thread. I did very well on Primal a couple of years ago and fell off the wagon like others. I really don't feel like I have many sensitivities although grains make me hungry. I couldn't do it if I couldn't have cheese. Just an ounce or so of something stinky like blue cheese or really creamy like brie really stops a craving for something very unhealthy after dinner or when I'm hungry and dinner is a while away. Also I enjoy Primal as they don't demonize a glass of cabernet now and then. After rationalizing and trying intuitive eating (where you eat exactly what you want and listen to your hunger) I realized nutrition is the most important thing for me. Of course I did learn a lot of good things about intuitive eating and am trying to pay more attention to eating when I'm hungry and stopping when I'm satisfied. Good luck to everyone. I am feeling very optimistic.

    Thanks mallowbar, my own RN at home said exactly the same thing. He always sends me to bed with 800mg.
    Welcome leighn62.

    Yesterday my chiro actually made some progress. I am going back on Friday.
