I have it. Truth? I don't do anything special except get nervous if I have pain and a fever (I was hospitalized with it a couple years ago.)

The worst pain for me was in the lower back. The impaction and infection pressing on the nerves.

Despite my cavalier attitude it is nothing to mess around with. My sil nearly died from it...had to have reconstructive surgery -- it was awful.

So listen to the doctors! No nuts or seeds.
