Hello Croix
Thanks for asking about me. My physio does dry needling and acupuncture. He says it is less painful for me when he uses needles when the part he wants reach is fairly deep and would require lots of pressure from him. So hence the needling. He uses acupuncture for long term relief (I think), unless he just wants me to sit doing nothing. He does use his elbow at time. He has looked after me very well with all my aches and pains and in return I have put him on my Christmas card list.
The polymyalgia/fibromyalgia, my doctor uses both words, has definitely improved. Not as painful and not as often. Still getting the odd attack but managing that with less strong pain killers. My son, who lives in Melbourne, knew exactly what I was talking about which was rather nice. He told me, as though I didn't know, that it was very painful. I phoned him to say I am going to Melbourne and how was he placed with his shifts. I stayed with him last year and it was good to catch up. I was royally wined and dined. He works at the casino so the odds of days off matching my visit are not good but he will let me know tomorrow.
May I ask you to do something? Well actually, not to do something. Can you not use the phrase Take care. It was used by the person we have discussed and does upset me a little. Shame really but I hope you don't mind.
Mary
