Sandy -

I'm glad to hear that Lindsay is feeling somewhat better. Apologies that you haven't heard from me in a while, but the last couple of weeks have been chaotic for me at best.

I had acupuncture early on by a PhD anesthesiologist from China. It was supposed to be a 6 week trial, 3 times a week in a comfortable, semi-darkened room. The needles are so thin I couldn't feel them, and where Lindsay has had CRSP for some time now, she almost assuredly has something called small fiber neuropathy, which loosely translated means that most folks with it are insensitive to light pin pricks in the first place.

That said, in my case, the doctor called it off after 5 weeks because he said it wasn't working.

Years later, I was introduced to a guy who is a well known photographer of Tibetan lamas, who suggested I use his acupuncturist. To this day, I regret that I lost that card.

Wishing you and Lindsay only the best,
Mike
