Hi BQ. I was thinking of you and Mo when my chiropractor, today, recommended thirty accupunctures in my treatment regime over the next three months.

Despite her reassurances, I was still quite apprehensive...in fact that is a mild word...as I was scared to death to receive my first one in two weeks.

So, I called an anesthesiologist I used to work with in Respiratory Therapy and asked him questions of accupuncture. He laughed and told me that even he uses it in pain control clinics, and even some family holistic physicians are going into training to provide this treatment.

Still and all....if anyone has heard of a horror story connected with this therapy....please tell me NOW? LOL

You want horror stories, shouldn't you be asking Darks? Or perhaps Nully?

Good morning. Finally returning your note about chiropractors and acupuncturists. I can't believe they recommended so many treatments! For some reason, I always thought a person would only have to go a couple of times for relief. But then again, I still picture an acupuncturist as someone in Chinatown (San Francisco) - where you have to go in a dark alley past hanging pigs and mushrooms, into a smoky, opium-filled den...

I thought about you yesterday because a Respiratory Therapist from Univ. Med Center died of a broken heart after her son perished in Iraq. So sad - I had just sent out a condolence card to the family, and then heard that night that she had died. She was only 45. Her husband, also a respiratory therapist, said it had to be a broken heart since there is no medical reason. Everyone at UMC is very upset.
