I am a very stubborn person so it was completely against my reasons to try acupuncture as a cure or help for my ailments.  After talks with both my wife and Martina, I finally relented and gave it a try.  My first visit with Martina was a little wary.  The only thing that I could think of was - I was in the house of pain.  It surprised me that it was painless.  I even reached the stage where I could nap during the process.  My main problem was an achy lower back after short walks.  Arthritis in my hands was almost unbearable at times.  I am pleased to say that I am now walking further than before and my hands are almost back to normal.  Martina, thank you very much.  Acupuncture has made a big difference to my life.  At the end of this cruise I will carry on with acupuncture treatments.  Martina, thank you.
