Hi Doobie!

Thanks for giving me your back story. I only put up with the meds for a few months and said screw you to the doc. I hate meds. I don't do well with meds to begin with and that was all they kept giving me. it went like this... ok, that one didnt work here TRY this one. When I said I could not sleep it was here try this one. TRY? what the hell? I am also a nurse, and I know what these meds can do over the long term and the addictive qualities they have. But, they don't mention that. So I told the doc screw you. and I started accupuncture. It was going really well until I got pregnant (many say thats how I got pregnant, I was feeling better). So my pregnancy made my symptoms worse. So all I could do was accupuncture and I liked it! But, now I had the baby and would like to continue accupuncture but my work comp people think it is not working cause I have to keep going. ( uh, hello it is helping my pain not fixing the problem...if they knew of a way to fix it dont they think I would do that, stupid!) So, now they are going to try biofeedback. Have you had any experience with it? I am trying to forego the meds totally but some days are harder than others. I haven't taken anything since I found out I was pregnant. The doc keeps trying to press the meds but I am pretty firm telling him no! It helps that I am breastfeeding cause then that is my reason. If you have any other suggestions for me that are of the "holistic" path I would love to hear it. Thanks again. -Jama
