Re: acupuncture

[Guest guest]

,

I know this is late responding, but I have spent my day today reading my stills

email's since October. I have EXTREME drug sensitivities / allergies. I have

multiple health issues, including Stills. I am currently doing the

unthinkable... attempting to combine allopathic and " natural " medicine in order

to become healthy. I work with a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor who does

acupuncture and herbology. I don't seem to have bad reactions to those. I had to

fight when there was not an ounce of fight left in me, but FINALLY, in July of

this year, my insurance company agreed that perhaps I should return to

" alternative " medicine to get healthy. It has helped tremendously. It seems to

be the only thing I can tolerate well. My Rheumatologist, Endocrinologist, and

Infectious Disease doctors, as well as my Primary care doctor are in support of

it. BUT, as of December 01, I have no insurance and no job. The company I worked

for (as much as I could)filed bankruptcy and I was laid off. Good news though...

I get more on unemployment than I was able to make working AND... I interviewed

last night for a very part time position with a Naturopathic office. It looks

promising and best of all, they treat all of the medical needs for myself and my

family FREE when employed with them. IF anyone needs information about this,

let me know. Today I am here, not sure what tomorrow holds, but I will be

smiling.
