@_@ ((((((((((((Christina!!!!))))))))))))))) OMG! How frightening! Sounds like you barely made it through that! I'm so sorry! Sending tons of good energy and hugs!

The best remedy I have found for things is acupuncture. I'm not big on needles, and finding the right person is really important - a true healer. I went for the first time in a long while yesterday and even though I didn't notice any change in my pain, I had a ton of energy today!
Acupuncture is one of the oldest healing traditions in the world. I know it works, but is often expensive, and honestly I don't like needles. But really, I am ready to give up on Western Medicine (and new age remedies; I tried some sort of fibro miracle thing and also couldn't stomach it).
Thankfully, this gal believes in making sure people get treatment and lowers it as much as she can (which was $40 for me; I will try for twice a month if poss, but once a month for sure, now that I have found a good practitioner I trust).

Again, sending any healing modality you prefer - prayers, good wishes, you name it- to you, Christina!!!!!
