mrsD- thanks for the tip about vodka. But l have now had moderate wine consumption over the past 4 days, and l haven't seen any increase in my symptoms of PN. Does that mean its not the wine, or do the symptoms of PN have a delayed effect?
Dr Smith- I asked the neurologist have l caused this as a result of too much wine, and he said no. He also said there is nothing wrong with sharing a bottle of wine with husband most nights, but to have a couple of night off. I drink less than this anyway. He also said, to drink lots of water, as alcohol makes the brain shrink form dehydration, hence why we can have hangovers.
So he didn't see any problem with having wine at all. I think most neurologist love a good drop themselves. But then again, how much do we trust the neuro?
They don't seems to know much about alternative therapies when it comes to NP, so how much can we take there word for it??
