Feeling Good
Nightnurse~I agree with you totally everyone with PCS should give it a try!I wish I would of started acupuncture sooner.I am happy I found it later then never.I had started acupuncture on Tuesday and now it is Friday.I have felt overall pretty good better then before with the only noticeable symptom was a pressure headache every once in awhile.My neck and jaw is REALLY feeling better and not as much pain as before, so I am not running into my physiatrist to use up my last cortisone shot!
I am trying to avoid any surgeries and my new regimen is to continue acupuncture with my physical therapy.A few of my M.D.s are a little disturbed because now I will start tapering medications soon, avoid surgeries, and overall some of the M.D.s will be eliminated if I keep getting good results from acupuncture. 
Hope everyone has a good weekend
