so much for acupuncture
05/19/10 at 16:54:05

Well after 8 visits to the acupuncurist absolutly no change,no pain relief
I can see why they are not yet accepted as medical men,and why it is not covered by medicare.
I tried the "Tens unit" also to no avail, I should have listened to my real doctor after he told me to sell my bike and golf clubs. So I guess I will have to live with one hand tied behind my back.
I was honestly thinking of having my left hand cut off,it's useless and in constant pain, perhaps a nice chrome hook,and a patch over my blind eye ,left again, and call everyone Matey,aaah aaahr where's my grog,on second thoughts maybe staneless steel on that hook.

Just dont give up. I'm not dam it. The Lupus was really doing a number on me. Everyone told me to exercise but when I walked my feet swelled up and when I use my hands they swell up. A month ago someone on a Lupus forum suggested bicycling. Went out and bought a nice mountain bike and I've put 200 mi on it in a month. Mick remember the movie you sent me about the guy with Lupus racing the Isle Of Mann. That has been a great inspiration to me. He rode many miles on a bicycle and I'm doing the same thing. Rode the Ninja 300mi today, last week did a 400 miler. I'm gonna keep working Mick until I get well enough to go cross country on it. Dont give up my friend, one day youre gonna look down your driveway and see a black Ninja coming.

Mick, I realize how one can get to feeling like giving up. Please for myself and the other's don't give up yet. Doctor's have been proven wrong before.

Whether you believe it or not, your an inspiration to many.

I don't walk in your shoes nor you in mine, yet there is a reason we have to keep believing tomorrow will perhaps be a better day. Kiss

Can you do this while the arm is not moving....just the hand pivoting up and down at the wrist joint?

Gort, there will be no fisting until your boyfriend is feeling better. Now go break out that phoney $500,000 you claim to have and go buy a BIG dildo, and try to be patient.
