There was a Groupon this week for 1/2 off for a session with an acupuncturisist, so I decided to try it. I know that's no way to choose a practitioner, but I said "what the heck, I went to a hypnotist on a whim and wound up quitting a 35-year smoking habit with next to no effort, so why not try this guy? Maybe it's another weird/lucky twist of fate." Not the same thing, I get it, but hey, it was a Groupon impulse purchase.

Here's what these folks have to say about neuropathy: http://birchcenter.blogspot.com/2009...upuncture.html

My biggest misgiving is what you said, cowboy, that it isn't all that effective for the pain, and I also noticed in these folks' blog that they don't even mention pain, just numbness. I can live with numbness. It's the pain that's really affecting my quality of life. I'm wondering--if they reduce the numbness, would that make me feel the pain even more intensely? And I'm also wondering how well they understand PN if they aren't even talking about pain in their blog. Well, it's clear he (or she) is getting a grilling from me, just like the doctors do. You don't get a pass because you have windchimes and new-agey music playing in the background (although you might get points from me for not forcing me to watch/listen to TV...I hate that)

Anyway, I couldn't get an after work appointment until the 15th, but I'll report back then how it went.
