I really like her - Dr. Hsu. My GI dr. recommended her. She is married to a GI and also has an MD from Hopkins. She treats pain with acupuncture and chinese herbs. She does not deal with any western methods, but she understands them with the training she has. I do believe it helps. One time when I was going through awful withdrawals she gave me a treatment that is done for opium addicts. She told me I would sleep that night and I did, after five days of no sleep. I also believe that I don't need to take as much pain meds with the treatments. I have been going ot her for two years. The first time I went to her and I had several treatments over a two week period, I went 11 months without an attack. Cecilia in AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Cecelia: Please let us know if you get any relief with acupuncture. One of my former GI doctors had headed a pancreo/biliary study for the federal government years ago. He told me that only one of his patients who tried acupuncture got any pain relief. And, sadly, it was very short lived. -E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 I get a fair or better than fair amount of relief with my acupuncture. I have been doing it since Sept 1 st and have had 15 treatments. The energy that it gives me is unbelievable. The fatique is greatly reduced. It does NOT get rid of all of my pain nor does it make me pain free, but so far it has kept me working part time and not taking many narcotics. That is at least one of my goals. Just thought I would jump in and let you know.
