Thanks, Dennis. I'm already taking most of the things you mentioned, have been for years. I've upped my B vitamins lately though to 150 mg per day, in three divided doses. Homeopathic hypericum is supposed to be good for nerve damage too, but I've taken a couple bottles of that and couldn't tell any difference.

It sounds like you and I are in the same boat, as far as relapses go. I just had another one last week but have been feeling gradually a little better each day until I'm back to just feeling kinda achey down there now. My chiropractor said I was in better shape today than in the past several weeks. It's just hard to stay up and positive during the bad times, but over time they do seem to get fewer and farther between.
