Medication can become a slippery slope. If you have an alternative treatment that works for you by all means do it.

I explored acupuncture for back pain many years ago, and had no improvement. I’ll probably try it again for PD, based on your endorsement. Everything is worth a try.

I have had muscle pain long before the actual diagnosis. I had that, among other symptoms long before I had answers. I find that meditation and acupuncture are the best treatments for the pain. Pills are only a new problem and don't have a lasting help.
