Well, after months of remission, my GD is back. It first started on my lower back near my spine. It wasn't much more than a relatively mild outbreak, very manageable. I now have it on both sides of my abdomen, and it is very unpleasant. I had thought that taking the Cilantro oil was doing the trick, but at this point who knows? Having had this disease for over six years, I have learned that it is totally unpredictable. If things don't clear up soon, it will be back to fresh Cilantro smoothies. I have often espoused the effectiveness of ice packs in at least pausing the misery. I will say it again. For me ice is a savior. Without my little ice pack, I would go nuts.
