Cold Laser treatment for FMS

Just received an e-mail from my friend and she said she had been treated with Cold Laser at her Chiropractor's. She said it helped alot with the pain. Has anyone tried this ?
My insurance does not cover chiropractic care, so since it would come of our budget (which is VERY limited), I would like to have other testimonials to the success of pain management/relief anyone may have experienced.

I haven't heard of this yet but it sounds promising. Maybe keep monitoring your friend and see how well she's doing.

If it works, it's worth it to add it to the budget.

My FIL has had some laser treatments for the arthritis in his hands and raves about it.

I take a complex enzyme that is supposed to dissolve the fibrin in your body. Fibrin is gunk that builds up in tissue causing arthritis as well as uterine cysts [the reason I'm taking it] and breast cysts. I think it helps my pain. I just put my dog on it and she's perkier than ever.

I was at my rheumotologist's today and I saw a list on the wall of his office outlining some of the chanrges for different treatments. I saw cold laser therapy posted as a treatment he provides for tendonitis. The list said that it was not covered by insurance, $35 a session, with results (if any) after a minimum of 7 to 10 sessions. I have not asked about it yet since I know I cannot afford it.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
