,

I tend to reach my deductible early as well; this year it will be

because I have had two different hospital stays totalling 15

days....lolol.....but that's okay!

Anyhow, I wanted to tell you I use a chiro (female) and she is very

very good; she is concerned about the whole body, not just the

alignment and is very up on nutrition, etc. She has helped loosen

knots that were at my neck and shoulders and " keeps me straight " so

to speak. I also use a reflexologist who does ion cleansing which

helps to keep me detoxed (I am on so many meds for different things

it really does help). Because she " pulls " the inflammation out of my

joints, I find I don't have to resort to using my break-thru meds as

often. Right now I'm due to go to the chiro (Friday) and because of

my lovely hospital stay last week, my low back has been giving me

fits and I am having to take my break-thru meds. But only for a few

more days!

Good luck with the chiro. If she doesn't work out, keep looking until

you find one that does. I also plan to check out a neuromuscular

massage therapist who works on folks with fibro. My shoulders and

upper back area seem to always hurt and I have been carrying a

headache for about a week (it subsides then comes back); because of

the blood clot, I can't take OTC stuff and have to go to either my

robaxin or my darvocet.....just for a darned headache! Anyhow, I have

used her before and she was great. I'm looking to add whoever I can

that will help me function at somewhat of a " normal " level, whatever

that is!
