Do know that Acupuncture helps with problems in the muscles, but then it is more the use of "dry needling" to activate some of the knots in your muscles, have my own experiences that, well at least something works there.
In my much earlier queeste for relief on PsA I tried acupuncture also, without any result.
I also tried the Vega method, a very vague approach in the direction of homeopathy.. no results, still don't know if it was a scam, had to pay for it myself, but it was not expensive.
Have also been in the field of bio-resonance. If you talk of a scam, now that is one. And fell even under the insurance. They had a great house, packed with weird instruments and a steady flow of patients. They said they would quickly solve my problems. Have been there a number of times, it was costless anyway. But no sign of result or change. A definite scam to my idea.
Did also the Aquatilis method of dr. Essaidi. An approach with all kinds of radiation at a certain stage combined with a herbs drink. Now that worked !! I have written my experiences over here in post RE: Gluten free diet could help psoriasis, the unfortunate thing of that approach was that is was very expensive and I had to travel awfully far.
As you can tell from above I am a fan of going alone (opposite to Fred, which is what happens more times
). I have very little confidence in the medical practice as I found out that they live in a tunnel where they cannot see what is outside of the tunnel. You as a patient have to go outside the tunnel yourself in order to check if other approaches will help.
I did finally, after leaving my dermatologist and rheumatologist, find a solution for myself with an internist, a doctor for internal diseases. This practice of medicine has a bit broader view and as psoriasis is an auto-immune disease and no skin-disease, he was able to select an approach that was directing to the source of the problem of auto immune diseases. He used DMF for that, which is intensively described over here on the forum.
I ended up with the initial treatment of the internist, finally the dermatologist agreeing for the insurance, and the GP prescribing and checking the blood results, which I always ask up for myself in order to check if they stay in line.
