Rich Petitti update aug 7, 2010
Saw doc month ago. Had brain and head scan and all OK. Saw a diet on web for people with TN. Stared it and after 4/5 days all the pain ended. Have had no pain for last month. Cancelled appt. with doc and resched. in about a month. Have not taken any meds in last month.
Main point in diet is very little "saturated fat".
Don't have entire list with me (on another pc) but if anyone wants it I shall post it on this site.
I am quite surprised at this and hopes that it continues. The diet is relatively easy to follow as basically some foods must be eliminated and some must have their quantities reduced.
Has anyone had or heard of a change in diet to eliminate all pain?
BTW- sorry for not replying sooner and thanks to all the members who sent me a welcoming note.
Again, ask for diet and I'll list it promptly and ask me any questions and also make
any comments related to this. At my age 71, it was very surprising to have this horrific condition strike me and I had never heard the term before and to read that thousands suffer daily from TN.
Thanks rich P
