Kristin, I have been treated with 5 Elements acupuncture since Nov 06 & for me it has been a major breakthrough. I will cut & paste from previous posts for speed. Incidentally I use Neurotalk, Patientslikeme & PDSUK forums - they're good for peer PD sharing. 1 of my physios (back pain) had training in medical acupuncture (MA) for pain relief. I was in agony when I had my 1st treatment. 2 hours later my husband commented that I was chatting as usual - the pain had gone!!!!!!! & I hadn't registered it. I was back pain-free for the remainder of my (rationed) physio treatment. My physio gave me details of a local doctor (ex-anaesthetist) who trained her trainers. In November 06 I went for assessment by Doc Martin for PD using 5 Elements acupuncture. Not everyone is receptive to acupuncture. I am among the lucky ones!!!! I had 6 weekly treatments, followed by a couple of fortnightly sessions & I am now going monthly. I'm told I look a new woman - I certainly feel it. I can give you more info on alternative treatments/therapies or just chat if you contact me direct. I do Yoga & Tai Chi as well as hydrotherapy at present. Hope this helps, Angela. -----Original Message----- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange Network [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Kristin Woestehoff Sent: 19 October 2007 13:40 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: acupuncture Hi, I am wondering if anyone has tried acupuncture for PD, and what their experience has been.
