Anybody else tried chiropractic?
I'm in my 34th week of tx.
I've been seeing a chiropractor and a massage therapist for the last month for some problems I've been having with my shoulder. I don't know if it's related, but over the same period of time, I've begun to feel much, much better with my treatment. I've been going to the gym daily. I still suffer from fatigue but it's less severe, and many of the other sides (such as lack of appetite and fever) have gone away.
Anybody else tried a chiropractor? I know when I started I was all knotted up. Hell, I'd spent months lying on my back on whatever mattress or sofa would accommodate me. The chiropractor seems to have helped me get control of my body again. I wonder if anyone else has any experience with this.

I have a long-winded story about that.
Six years ago, when I was doing somewhat extreme workouts, I fell to the floor paralyzed with back pain. Everyone I knew came to my rescue, offering diagnoses and cures, conventional and over the top. Two years later, my back was still a mess. One of my closest friends, the daughter of two medical specialists and a seismologist herself, desperately drove me six hundred miles to see a 'special' doctor who would 'let' my blood and cure me!
In my circle of friends, the one no-no in all this was seeing a chiropractor. Seeing a witch doctor would have been more acceptable.
And then, when my doctor and physio said I had to cancel my trip to Japan due to my bad back, I threw caution to the wind and declared that if a chiropractor was meant to kill me with one blow, then so be it. I was going to go on my trip, dead or alive. My husband, the greatest skeptic of all and the one who least wanted to see me crippled by a chiropractic 'quack', was there to witness my first 'adjustment'. Patrick, who works with medical doctors in a sports setting, took one minute to 'put me back in place' and it was unbelievable to me. I felt pain-free, completely. There are many chiropractors who make a business of jargon and frequent visits but Patrick is in the minority. He actually does all he can to help you in as short a time as possible but never lacks for clients, mostly athletes. Anyway, I haven't had back trouble for years but I still harbor an irrational prejudice against chiropractors, except for Patrick, who is one of a kind.
