Hi GfS,

Yes, mine is under control now - with medication.

It seems to be certain foodstuffs which trigger my condition: coffee, cheese, wine and ripe fruits (particularly bananas and pears). I mentioned all of this to a neurologist who was ... 'non-commital' in his response. Anyway, I know what the triggers are and what to avoid. Mercifully, beer doesn't appear to represent a problem - phew!

Thank you for your concern. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family.
