April 2011
I started going to acupuncture 3 months ago for fibromyalgia. I have two kids that are still very young and active. I would wake up in the morning with pain from my neck to my lower back and having to take care of two toddlers I would wake up feeling depressed and unmotivated because I was in so much pain. When I went to the doctor they gave me Flexeril after taking it for the first week I started feeling nauseous and my pain would be low one day and more the next day so I decided that I didn't want to take any medication.
My friend told me that acupuncture might be able to help with the pain. When I first came to see Elisa she explained to me why my body felt so much pain and how everything that I do can affect my pain, and she said a lot of my back muscles were tight and I had muscle spasms. She also used cupping therapy, which was sore and achy at the time but the next day after my treatments the pain was real low and some days I didn't even have any pain.
I highly recommend anyone with fibromyalgia to try acupuncture it has made a world of a difference in my life. I can do more activities with my kids without feeling like I am an old lady.
Thanks Elisa you are my angel!
