HI Mel!
Yes that's true, I've met a lot of people this weekend, and found lots of great info!
My husband gives his grandfather B-12 shots twice a month.....his Grandfather is 92. So my husband said he'd start giving me B-12 shots too.......see if that helps with the pain over time. (I'm cringing as I'm writing this because I HATE needles!)
We are also looking into massage therapy. I'm already going to a Chiropractor for neck pain that I've been having, and he's really helping with that pain. I was having severe headaches and I thought they were sinus headaches and come to find out my top 2 vertebre are compressing because of my Dengerative Disk Disorder....like I need another problem! lol
So tell me about tihs self hypnosis and how it's helping you? I've always thought I wouldn't be a good candidate for hypnosis, tho my husband thinks I should try it. We're also checking into whether or not my insurance would cover acupunture or not. I had acupunture 4 yrs ago for an arm injury I received at work and it helped with the pain I was having.
Did I tell you I have a Carnitine deficency? I'm taking supplements for that but am waiting for my order to arrive of those pills and haven't been able to take any for a week (some goof up from the place we bought them from) So I'm wondering if that's contributing to my pain right now. Do you know of anyone who has had a Carnitine deficency? I swear if it's not one thing it's another!! lol Have a great day Mel! Roxie
