Did any of you use acupuncture and chinese medicine in order to alleviate possible Side Fx of Tx?

Good Morning to all, a straightforward question to the proponents of acupuncture and chinese medicine (i am one of them) did any of you guys used or are using this system to alleviate unwanted side Fx with Tx? Any comment? I already made up my mind and will have regular sessions with my Tx. Just curious to hear what some of u have to say
Thank you and to all: a great day

- Nikita

Never did it on treatment but thinking about it post.

I'm not sure about mixing TCM herbs with tx, due to possible drug interaction, but Dr. Zhang-- a reputable chinese MD who practices in NY-- does have some suggestions regarding this.  You may want to contact him and ask his opinion (he has a website with a link to email him).

Acupunture does help me with fatigue and joint pains, but I am not currently on treatment.

Good luck!

I had acupunture for the first time during treatment - at around the 6th or 7th month i had a few sessions - it helped a bit with the muscle aches and pains - of course announced my condition up front - for me the number one help with the aches was a hot water bottle
good luck with the treatment
