Fibro-Steve

Fibromyalgia

My name is Steve C. I came to Abundance Acupuncture in March 2008 because I was suffering from fibromyalgia. I had aches and pain all over my body especially in my lower back and thighs. The pain was also much worse after any type of exertion. I had difficulty getting to sleep, woke up often in the middle of the night, and I always felt tired and fatigued. Because of this I was also more irritable than usual. I had this problem for two years and made it difficult for me participate in any activity, even playing catch with my son. I was unable to do any household maintenance or repairs.

I tried medications such as piroxicam, lexapro, ibuprofen, and aspirin to resolve these problems but only noticed temporary, mild pain relief and nothing more. I began to feel some improvements in my condition after two treatments at Abundance Acupuncture and significant improvements after one month.

At this point in time my condition feels 85% better. I now have no extreme muscle pain, I feel much more energetic, and I am able to do landscaping, yard work, and play with my son. I have also noticed significant improvement in other symptoms like having less sinus congestion and fewer headaches which is unusual for me.

During the treatments I felt very comfortable and relaxed. The clinic is great and the staff is friendly. I would recommend acupuncture to anyone because it has helped me achieve an overall feeling of healthiness.
