Aurore,
I have not tried acupuncture yet have you had any positive results with
it ?. I am currently trying 'Bowen Technique' and Magnatherapy, along with
conventional physiotherapy and Osteopathy. It's a little early in process and
with so many things going on I may find it hard to attribute any success to
any one part of my overall treatment. All of these are physical but how much
of the problem can be beaten with positive attitude, Yoga, stress reduction,
diet changes and mediation ? I think that they key probably does not lie with
one thing or one treatment, more an overall combined approach. I have only
been diagnosed with TM for a few months and am just recovering after my second
attack. What is clear is that the severity of symptoms and range of symptoms
is large and what may work for some and not for others. My attacks seem mild
in comparison to some of those I have read about in this forum, but just
communicating with people who have some understanding of how I feel has in
itself been instrumental in raising my spirits so thank you all !!

Please let me know how you get on.....

Giles,

I'm definitely interested in alternative therapies. I found another
chiropractor (mine is ill) and started treatments again, and the pain in
my left leg is much better. I don't believe that regeneration/healing
stops at 18 months--to the contrary, I believe that nerve tissue heals
for the most part very slowly, over a long period of time.

I'm trying to start a new course of acupuncture on my spinal cord, but
over the last several weeks, the doctor's had to treat me for colds and
fall injuries instead. Soon.

FYI, for guy problems--acupuncture can sometimes reroute and/or
strengthen nerve function, so it might be a good possibility for
treatment of sexual function, especially for the two cases of partial
functionality described lately.
