Acupuncture And Fibro Posted: 01-11-08 02:13am
Does it work? I am getting my first
acupuncture treatment for fibro in two
weeks. I was skeptical until a few people
who also have fibro said it works.
Anyone?

i've heard it works for a lot of stuff,
but have never talked to someone having it
for fibro. if you try it, let us know how
it worked! i may be interested, too.

I will let you know. I am going this
coming saturday. This person told me she
has worked on people with fibro. I am
quite the skeptic. I hope it works. The
pain this morning was horrible. I didn't
have it while I was pregnant until now. My
child is six months old and it's coming
back:(.

Swimming Posted: 01-15-08 14:10pm
Try swimming in a heated pool. Because my
fibro is so bad, I was approved to come
work out at our locally run therapeutic
center. They have wellness programs people
with all types of physical disabilities...
from arthritis to paralysis. I swim with a
group of elderly ladies (of course, all
about 30 years my senior). We get in the
pool and do some stretching and moves to
help with pain and to help strengthen the
joints and muscles. I just started it. It
feels really good.

That works wonders for me. I take long hot
baths every night and even sometimes
mornings when time permits and my muscles
are so sore. We are hoping to buy a hot
tub next year! I don't know of any places
with a good, heated pool. I need to find
one.

Well. I had the acupuncture on Saturday
and Sunday I had bad fibro symptoms. What
a bummer. The person told me that I should
go twice a week to see results. I would
think that at least the following day, I
would feel a little better. I don't know.
I don't even believe in acupuncture but
was hoping it would help a little. I am
going to call her to see what she says.
This morning it was pretty bad. I had to
wake up at 5:00am for work, which was
almost impossible.
I will keep you posted if I go back for
one more try.
So frustrating.

That's true with acupuncture? You can get
worse before you get better. I am not
familiar with the with acupuncture at all.

I dont know--with me it was true in many
cases. I guess you have to play it by ear.
Id give it a good 3 or four sessions
before saying that its not working. but
thats just me.
