Hey! Try the acupuncture, what do you have to lose? it
dosen't look all that scary. I haven't tried it. I learned to
del with what i have. I block it out. I pay later. I dont know
where the phrase came from, no pain no gain. I look at it this
way, if i were to work any way i would have pain later, i
would have to deal with. So! i have it before and after.
Really, what's the diference? your still gona have it. Might
as well learn to live with it. Life goes on either way. Good
luck!
