Hi L33,
Six weeks post-treatment now and I'm still up in the air about the efficacy of radon. I had a terrible one-month flare up since returning from Bad Gastein in Austria which I have been unable to treat with anti-inflammatories as we are trying to conceive.
The one-month flare is a well-documented response to radon treatment but with such a complicated disease I'm always dubious.
In the last week, I have started to feel a gradual improvement. In fact, I have been running/shuffling again with the assistance of well-timed paracetamol. That's saying something.
I actually decided to jump on KickAS today as I woke up this morning with zero pain and very little stiffness. The last time my SI joints felt so 'normal' was ten years ago when I had a steroid injection. It was very different to a 'just OK' morning.
My severity of symptoms fluctuates so significantly over time (coupled with my cold turkey on the anti-inflammatories) that I won't be making any calls on my radon treatment for another six weeks at least. But when I do, either way, I'll pop a post on this forum.
Wishing you the best,
