LOVE acupuncture for the sole reason that you have to lay on the table completely still for a long period time. I find myself tired some days and looking for a reason to lay flat. Seems like taking a nap would be too logical, but if I can get acupuncture, I have a great excuse for laying down. Gee, I’m stupid for paying $60 to lay quietly!

Absolutely- no question about checking credentials and also, in FL, acupuncturists are known as acupuncture physicians. That may not be the case in every state but here, they go through a pretty rigorous schooling and licensing system.
Susie- I wish we lived closer too! I’d have you up and going in no time!

Regina — I wish you lived close — I’d be a client for Crainial Sacral. And yes, very little time to rest.
And good point about the non-doctor acupuncturist. But that said, you still must be careful and check credentials.

Susie- glad you felt some relief from the acupuncture. However, there are many highly trained and qualified people who do acupuncture that are not doctors and I would not discount going to any acupuncturist because they are not doctors. All of my acupuncturists that I have ever gone to over these last 25 years or so have been wonderful and none of them have been doctors.
I think for most symptoms like you have, having worked on many people over the years with very similar complications,is that time and relaxation and rest are key. And sometimes also a change in lifestyle. I know that’s hard because you have very active little boys, but even so, maybe there could be things you could do, even just litttle things.
Acupuncture is great, so is massage and so is craniosacral therapy, which I practice as well. CST helps with a lot of soft tissue problems and also could be another tool in your drawer!
I do hope you start feeling better and better and who knows- the time up at the lake may be just what you need!
