I've been away for a while.Just dropping in to see whats up with everyone.
I thought I'd repost the RSD Diet for those that may have missed it and still might be interested.
My best to you all. Di

I also have another question. Can anyone explain in short form what HBOT is? If maybe it is something I can try to see if it helps with my pain. Thanks and you all take care.

All the best! Diana
