Nightnurse, I love that you're open to alternative therapy! Healing Touch and acupuncture sound like real possibilities. I haven't tried either (unless Cranial Sacral counts, I think it's like healing touch). Thanks so much for the link on where to find a practitioner; I'm going to look into that. And that was smart to teach healing touch to yourself! It helps me feel a little bit hopeful to hear that it helped you. Thank you!
