The Orthostatic Tremor Forum (archive)

Angel, Sorry it has taken me so long to respond!!! I have been tearing out my kitchen. Life is hectic!! I no longer take acupuncture. I only took it for a short time. Dr. Fiscella found the right place to place the needles the first time he inserted them. I have not had any tremors now for about 11/...

I would just like to say that it has been one year since I have had the tremors(wiggles). My legs are continuing to improve. I have to thank the Lord and I have to thank Dr. Fiscella for this miracle!! My only hope is that others would receive the same benefits from acupuncture. I would love to hear...

Doreen, I have not had tremors since July 7th 2010. My legs are getting better. I have not had any acupuncture treatments since Oct. Good luck!!! You are in our prayers!!! I would be glad to give any help if I can. Dan Murphy

Rita and Lynne,

Dan Murphy

Lynne and others!!!!!
Hopefully some of you are receiving some results from acupuncture!!! I would like to here from some of you have tried it and hopefully some positive results.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
Dan Murphy

Lynne, I'm sorry but I didn't get Dr. Fiscella to name a specific point. He thinks it's a hands thing. Find the problem area with your hands then insert the needles. All I can tell you is the first time he stuck me he placed 2 needles in each thigh. One 3 or 4 inches above the knee the other 4 or 5 ...

Lynne,
Happy Thanksgiving! I will see my Dr. on Friday Dec. 3rd. I will see if he can give a specific point. Good Luck!! Hang in there!
Dan Murphy

Lynne, He is licensed but he seems to think that the spot that he used on me will not work for everyone. He says you need to find those trigger points by using your hands. Good Luck! You are in our prayers!! Keep me informed. Dan Murphy

Lynne, Hang in there! Keep on trying. Dr. Fiscella thinks the Dr. has to find those trigger points on there own. He thinks it would be different for each condition. His work was all done with his hands before he placed any needles in me. Good luck!!! Dan Murphy

Lynne, Just came back from Dr. Fiscella. He has received the fax. He will be answering shortly. My understanding of the situation is that he just can't tell your Dr. where to stick you. He uses his hands to find the rough spots and then sticks these areas. He gave me 5 treatments with his hands befo...

Today marks 4 months that I haven't wiggled!! Thank you Lord!! I am continuing to make progress with my legs. I'm still looking for people who have tried Dr. Fiscella's method. I would like to think this will work for others. Good Luck!!!! You are all in my prayers!! Dan Murphy

Kate, I noticed a slight change for the better with acupressure, but the tremors ceased immediately after the first 15 minutes of acupuncture!! My legs are not where they were when this started but are continuing to improve. I can do what I want without any problems. Dan Murphy

Kate, I didn't have acupuncture until the 5th visit to Dr. Fiscella. I received some after that also. There is nothing to it! If you closed your eyes you wouldn't know where they were. I haven't wiggled since the first treatment. I am now receiving acupressure once a week. Dan Murphy

Hi Joan, I have not had any wiggles for 3 months and 2 days. Thank you Lord! My legs continue to get stonger all the time. I even have returned to umpiring high school girls fast pitch softball. I continue to see Dr. Fiscella one day a week. He gives me acupressure to the back and legs, that is done...
