Re: Acupuncture, Chinese herbs and Parkinsons
we thought we would first ask whether there were any people out >there who had tried it and if anyone had found any success with it. Please let >us know any experiences anyone has had. > >Norm Ichiyen >(P) Ruth Ichiyen, 47,6 >Mississauga, Ontario, Canada I have experienced moderate relief of symptoms in my hands and arms with accupuncture, but not enough to continue on a regular basis. The treatments were excruciating, compared to accupuncture treatment for other conditions, which I found enjoyable. I was not able to tolerate treatment for my legs. There was a time I thought I would endure anything to be rid of PD, so my inability to accept the pain of the accupuncture was a surprise. I can only guess that the treatments were so excruciating because of the extreme chronic nature of PD. Anyone else have this experience? Kathie Tollifson pyonyr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
