Local ConnectionsCoping with FibromyalgiaSallyhttp://tribes.tribe.net/fibromyalgia/thread/ade8c963-d185-4442-89f2-431d79460d3c2008-07-07T22:38:52Z2006-03-02T16:40:52Z<div>First of all, I've experienced the most pain relief from an acupuncturist, Teresa Wilkinson, at Tulsa's "The Path" (494-0082). Teresa was a RN who became paralyzed when she was in her twenties. Acupuncture enable her to overcome severe odds, and she is a dynamic and lifelong student of acupuncture and alternative healing. She has encouraged me to use yoga to keep my body from getting so tight and locked up. This has worked especially well when I followup an aerobic workout (treadmill, elipitcal, walking) with yoga.
<br/>
<br/>What I've found is that on the days that I don't work out, my pain levels are much higher and I don't sleep as well. I've also used some supplements that seem to help--a healthier choice than using the CoTylenol that my family practice doctor prescribed.
<br/>
<br/>What's working for me may not universally work for everyone else, but every little bit helps!</div>

<br/>Zheng Chi or "Righteous Chi" is the Chi that is released to eliminate PAIN through the needles of Chinese Acupuncture, an effort that seems to be so much a regular part of my life, as I suffer with my Fibromyalgia flare ups! An entire team of doctors regularly helps me keep a better focus on quality of life, and to minimize the severe pain which plagues me. Medical marijuana is only one of the components for relief.
<br/>
