Relief from Fibromyalgia
The fibromyalgia also caused fatigue, difficulty sleeping, depression, and irritability. I had chronic low back pain, hypersensitivity to carbohydrates, food allergies, and digestive problems. The pain made it difficult for me to keep up a fitness program so I gained weight and it then was hard for me to loose even a few pounds. Sometimes my condition just made me feel hopeless. My rheumatologist suggested pain relievers but I requested more natural alternatives and tried physical therapy and warm water exercises which helped but were not a permanent solution. I began to feel some improvements in my condition after four treatments at Abundance Acupuncture and continued with a nine month program of treatments. At this point in time my condition feels 80% better. I am now able to walk or exercise almost every day of the week with out pain. I also had significant improvement in the pain that came from a fall on my tailbone in November during my treatment plan. The acupuncture helped relieve the pain and heal the trauma in a more timely manner. During the treatments I felt completely relaxed and peaceful with the soft music in the dimly lit treatments rooms. The clinic has a very warm atmosphere and everyone at Abundance Acupuncture helped me be comfortable and made me feel very special. Now I know where to go for help if I need it. I would recommend acupuncture to anyone who is living with pain or a condition that has been unresolved. Thank you! Lois R. |
My
name is Lois R. I came to Abundance Acupuncture in October, 2006
because I was suffering from fibromyalgia. I had this problem for twenty
years, even back in the 1980’s when the doctors thought that fibromyalgia
was a psychological condition. I had widespread achy, stiff muscle pain,
and my whole body felt fatigued. The intensity of pain went from light
and transient to incessant and incapacitating.
