Hi
Thats very encouraging to hear i am suffering from a bout of all over body spasms been like that 24 hrs now had these on and off for 2 years rest and large doses of diazapam is the only way i seem to get through them.
I tried acupuncher twice with little effect but then i could not get to the place anymore.
pleased its helping you.

Hey Gurl,
Have we met? I'm sorry if I've missed you, and I'm also sorry if I'm not remembering...lol...
Regarless, hello G-Gurl, I'm Shelly, and was dx'd in 07 w/MS.
Last year at a newly dx'd seminar they acutally brought up the acupuncture, however they did not discuss the specifics of how it works on the spasms. I'm glad to hear you got some relief from it. I think my parathesias is here to stay too, durrnit. It has been worse though, so I won't complain.
Questions for you - after going, do you think the acupuncturist knows about the various diseases, and they adjust their puncture places? Just curious. I would think they would have to know, like PTs do, but would like to know if you have thoughts or insight.
Also, I've only read a little about the extra Gd, and how some imaging required it. Your Dr. willing to order this up like this? Do tell.
See you around,
shell
One of our fibromyalgia members was just discussing how acupuncture has helped her with her symptoms. I commented about how the military recently started doing acupuncture and some of the amazing results they've had. Here's the link to the MedHelp discussion:
