Hi there
Linzi, thanks for your post. I was dianosed SLE & Fibromyalgia about 6 months ago and also on Planqunil.
I tried acupuncture for the first time yesterday and was in soooo much pain last night, and this morning I literally could not walk for hours. My ankles were not supporting and my knees felt like they were going to pop out with my weight. I am feeling a lot better at this moment but I was so worried. I was so lucky its Saturday and my hubby was home to help me.
The Chinese medical practitioner suggested I come back for weekly sessions of acupuncture and that I go on some herbs make into capsules, but I am unsure. I have heard to be very careful with mixing meds without advise from my rheumatologist.
Any thoughts? Thank you again, your post relieved my fear.
