Re: There's Hope for PF

Thanks for this message. Basically the folks who frequent this message board fall into two categories - people who are just starting on this PF thing, and those long-time sufferers for whom treatments have not really worked. I feel for them all - and am very grateful for the chance to share pain, opinions and treatment suggestions.

For my part (PF for 7 months) I can only survive if I BELIEVE that one way or another my body will beat this thing. Your message really helps - especially as the cortizone shot I had 5 weeks ago seems to have worked. Up until then by far the most effective treatment I used was acupuncture in conjunction with heavy-duty vitamins and glucosomine sulfate (which I continue) My Dr was very clear that cortizone should only be tried after 6 months of "regular" treatments, and then up to a maximum of three shots with at least 4 weeks in between each. He readily admits that it doesn't work for everyone - but it apprears to have done so for you, and I'm hoping.........
