Hi All
I have UCTD and am in the final stages, I HOPE of getting off steroids. I'm down to 1.5mg Pred. It's taken me about 5 years to get to this point so I am super chuffed. However I cannot move on as my right hand (wrist, index finger + little finger) are objecting to a further drop.
My physio, who I am seeing for hand therapy treatment is suggesting I have acupuncture. I have had acupuncture in the past for pain both before developing an autoimmune disease (right shoulder - too much time spent at the computer sitting badly) + a couple of years back to ease the pain in my feet but never for inflammation.
I respond very well to acupuncture for pain relief so I'm keen to give it a go.
I'd love your thoughts/feedback.
Joy
