It seems that acupressure is of little help. The injections are expensive, but worth it to me. It is also painful. At times they inject into a nerve center to attempt a nerve block. I do not seem to obtain much relief from that method. Just a great deal of pain involved from the procedure. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!300!7!Bill.Logan Internet: Bill.Logan@f7.n300.z1.fidonet.org
