September Daily Chat

Melodieccurn

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.
