Alternative Therapies

[Guest guest]

Well, here I am. Gritting my teeth, and suffering through another painful day at

work. I'm not in as bad a shape, as I was on Friday, but I still hurt.

I took some of my (generic)Ultracet and some Motrin. (Rheumatologist told me was

okay.) By itself, the Ultracet does nothing, neither does the Motrin, at least

together they take the edge off.

On my bad days, when I'm home, our pets seem to know I'm not feeling well. Both

Trinity, our kitty, and Storm, our 100 pound dog, have to join me on the bed and

snuggle. Some how it seems to make it a little easier to take the pain. Anyone

else have experience with Pet Therapy?

I also had a Chiropratic visit, this past Saturday. Afterwards, I had a good

afternoon. The next day was bad, so I'm guessing the benefits are short lived. I

have another visit this coming Saturday.

At this point, I'd even be willing to try accupuncture and massage therapy,

since I've heard both seem to work with fibro. Just not sure if our insurance

would cover, or who I'd need to go see.

Anyone have experience with either of these?

Thanks guys!
