Hi,
I am new here. I was recently diagnosed with fibro. I suspected it for years. I am able to manage it with stretching, light exercise, massage and acupuncture. I also take turmeric in an effort to limit my intake of ibuprofen.

I just thought I'd share my experience with acupuncture.. A friend gave me the idea to give it a try, so I did; I went to three different places and got three quite different treatments.
1. Place : acu needle in my forehead and a few points in the head (supposedly to cure my chronic fatigue) -...
