Dear Kathy
i started acupuncture a few weeks ago before i found the rsd web site. have you tried it for your pain? i found some sites that says it helps so i will keep trying it. my acupuncturist is being very generous with not charging me hardly anything to go, he knows im broke financially, so its been a blessing. thank you for the idea to help others. my daughters, i have twin 19 yr olds, just left to go back to college. they are 4 hous away so i get to see them every few months. i miss them and love them so much, so i think its extra heart pain today too. yesterday i started stressing knowing they would leave today. they took me out to see the fireworks and hang out together, so it was a special happy night.
i hope you had a nice 4th too. do you have children too? im 47 and been married for 28 years. my hubby is my care giver. hes a blessing too. there must be a way to fix this illness for us! my family is certainly in pain for me, its hurt us all.
thanks for being so kind and reaching out to me.
Lori
