      Treatments

      5-HTP Working / Worked
      I took it when I was coming off of anti-depressants. I felt it helped.
      Acupressure Working / Worked
      Had acupressure in combination with massage. Still like it!
      Acupuncture Working / Worked
      I used acupuncture to help settle down my immune system. I felt it helped.
      Aqua Therapy Working / Worked
      I do warm water pool therapy in a slightly warm pool- not hot. Hot water can bring on symptoms. Warm water pool work helps me a lot.
      Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
      Went to a good doc for a long time. I felt chiropractic was one of the 2 things that kept me going. The other was regular massage.
      Guaifenesin Working / Worked
      Still like Guaifenisin for control of sinus/ allergy symptoms.
      Massage Working / Worked
      Love massage. Kept me going and kept my muscles and fascia in pretty good shape until I could begin to heal.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      It helped a bit when I was in so much pain. I got off of it as soon as I could. Very strong RX.
      TENS Working / Worked
      Used at one time. It helped moderate some body pain.
      Vitamin B12 Working / Worked
      Helped boost my energy, but I did not continue it too long.
      Zanaflex Working / Worked
      Helped control some muscle spasms. Got off of it as soon as I could.
