kayva
I tried accupuncture before I got a final diagnosis. Had three treatments including pins in the ear for appetite control. Unfortunately, I can't say any of it worked. Also tried chiropractic, and physical therapy (which I had to give up because it was too painful). I'm maintaining at 5 mg and ibuprofen. It flared about three weeks ago and I jumped up to 10mg for a few days then back to 5mg. I know you aren't supposed to do that but so far don't think I bothered anything. I also am bothered with hot flashes and periods of sleepiness. (I had menopause many years ago but stopped taking premarin a few months ago). Would be nice to get the body into equilibrium again. Wherever did this polymyalgia pop up from?
