Tessa, I got that coffee information from his site. I met and talked to Doctor Hooshmand 19 years ago and I am doing the four4"s. I went to a seminar in Maine and learned lots from him and what to expect from doctors that would not know about rsd. I was in bad shape 19 years ago and Doctor Hooshmand said he could definitely help me. The problem was we had to go to his hospital in Florida. We had no money. He has since retired but they still help RSD/CRPS patients.

The coffee thing coming from a neurologist that I have met and seen evidence of his knowledge and work and what information is in number one on that coffee list sold me but I still have a coffee every once in a while. It wasn't posted to "make" people stop, it is there to broaden the horizons of pain suffers. Information is not a command, it is subjective, we all see it different.

So Tessa I do follow the 4-4s and the 5cs. I am very pleased with the results as you are. I have not tried any other generic diets. I hope your day is going well and how are you doing today? Did it go as well as you hoped Tinkerbell? Go ahead-make my day. You sure made us laugh last night Tessa. I hope it is reciprocal . Hugs and compassion Tessa.
