My next dr appointment is on wednesday and i guess ill find out then but just curious what others are taking?
Which work the best?
I hear acupuncture works
I don't have it, and I'm so sorry you do. I hope medications work. if not, I'd go straight to acupuncture. a third alternative–just keep this on file in case you need it is TKM therapy–kinginstitute.org. It's energy medicine similar to acupuncture but with fingertips instead of needles.
