Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 Hello, I'm a newbie here. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last year, although I've suffered for probably 7. I hope to be a helpful particpant of this group. Since being diagnosed, I've been thru the medication roulette... antidepressants, supplements, pain meds etc. Recently I decided to try acupuncture. Although I've had only two treatments, I've been pretty impressed with the control of my backpain (unrelated to fibro). I have had no relief of my joints, but he vowed to start working on those areas next week. Anyone else has luck with acupuncture? I know there's a study they're looking for participants in Washington DC. I've also heard they've got research going on for hormone Relaxin but still in clinical trials with excellent promise.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 Hi, Although I haven't tried that procedure, I have at home a professional muscle stimulator (nope not a Tens unit nor a cheap TV knock off--lol) and by using it on all my areas of RA & FMS, I get alot of relief.
