    I saw the trial and some are sceptical about that.  But the worst that could happen is it flares and I work on getting it in control again.. I'm coming off the codiene and even slowly, today is a rough day.  I hope she can help.. She is a LAc, OMD and the ladies at church seem to love her.  She is the only accredited acupuncturist in town, but she talked to me yesterday and got me in after work this afternoon.

    GMA....hope the acupuncture works....sometimes it does take several treatments to get results, so don't give up on one visit....In your pocket today.....let us know what's happening, please.

    Years ago I went to a acupuncture school nearby and the owners treated me over several weeks.....loved it!

    For me, Medicare does not cover it and since my other insurance is now my secondary insurance, only pays what medicare approves (when this, my secondary, was my primary insurance it was covered....go figure)......so I had to go see a orthopedic doctor, get xrays, have a MRI  with another doctor and then have a procedure with orthopedic doctor which was an xray guided epidural cortisone injection in an out patient surgical center....

    HUG!!!!

    FK.....remember I told you to get both........get the tablets which you take 2, followed by a glass of water.......then there is the liquid which is good too.........the tabs I think work a little better, cause the kind of form a barrier when they dissolve, but I am not happy with chewing them.......but that's me..........just get it girlie..............

    Keep the liquid for home, and you can carry the tabs with you.......

    The Acupucturist talked to me Monday and got me in by yesterday afternoon! She walked me through an evaluation and did a bit of Acupuncture. She talked me into to needles on the forearm and wrist on the LE side.. I was concerned but am trusting she knew what she was doing. (no probems with that this morning, so I'm good). 

    She said I reacted to the treatment like she would have wanted and to not fight the heaviness I was feeling. It was a state of "healing sleep" and go home and sleep - I did - First nap I've had in 10 years. For first experience with this, I am keeping an open mind. I kinda ache all over and certain points, that she had to remove because of "fire type pain", hurt this morning, but she told me that could happen. She wanted to clear out the small things yesterday before she touches on my breast pain issue. My neck is already feeling better. The Acupuncturist did say that she would probably know one way or another within 5 treatments, whether the pain will respond. 

    I also received an email from my PCP and she said this was a great Idea - acupuncture and massage might be what my body responds too.  I am keeping positive thoughts of this and massage will be the key to my pain issue. I am slowly tapering off my pain meds.  

    I couldn't keep you ladies in the dark and worrying about me.  We have enough ladies here I worry about, didn't want to add me to anyone's list.  I only posted here, so if someone elsewhere is asking about me, you have my permission to tell them.

    GMA....baby steps...baby steps....

    I am hopeful for YOU.....one step at a time.........I sure know I love accupuncture and it worked!

    Another thing I really really love, when I had pain during reconstruction....was hyperbaric therapy......so relaxing....and fresh oxygen.....ahhhhhh.......it can heal the pains from head to toe.....nipple pain, with NO nipples was solved!   I know I take little breaths when not thinking about breathing and I also stop breathing at night due to sleep apnea (I do not use a CPAP)

    Hi Di, I thought you might be here! I wanted to say to you that I understood what you were saying on the other forum...even put a message in there to you. Kinda felt you had moved one. It's really crappy when you need to say something and it gets thrown back at you. I've had that happen on other forums as well. Anyway, I am sorry that happened and maybe I'll run into a mall and we can kick down some doors!
