    I know the horrors of being sick and in pain, and no one believes you. They cannot feel it so how can they know....but I have found the perfect solution. I have a wonderful Chinese Doctor who has years of experience as an Acupuncturist. I would never have believed the miracle of this medicine, until I had it done for my back and a Heel problem. I am cured!!!!!!!!! The Herbs given along side the treatment are vital for the complete process to work. I am a True Believer in Acupuncture.

    Not only did it cure the problem with my back, I found that if I am depressed or out of sorts in any way, a treatment or two gets me back to good health. Granted it is expensive and usually not covered under Health Insurance, but finding an experienced Doctor can cure the problem in usually short periods of time. I feel blessed that I opened my mind to Ulternative Medicine.

    I Have Fibromyalgia,and Chronic Fatigue Syndome. The pain is so great.I can hardly get my Dr. to understand the greatness of the pain. sometimes the pain is more than my tolerance. I take medication, but there is days that the meds just don,t work.I don't know where to turn for help.

    I don't want to give you false hope. There is a clinic in Yankton South dakota that has had success with the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain with the use of radiofrequency neuromodulation. You might inquire at 605-668-8683. This is the American Pain Relief Institute.
