PATIENTS REPORTS (TESTIMONIALS)
"IN THEIR OWN WORDS"
President Obama "I think it is pretty well documented through scientific studies that Acupuncture can be very helpful in relieving things like migraines and other ailments".
MIGRAINESI read today about poor Oona Robertson and her debilitating migraines. I was a migraine sufferer beginning June 8, 1987 when I was in a car wreck. These migraines were monthly occurrences for several years, until I began taking the triptan drugs Imitrex, Zomig, etc.
Gradually, my migraines increased from about three days per month to about five days per week. It turns out the triptans may cause rebound headaches. I was concerned about all the pharmaceuticals I was taking. I met an acupuncturist who was able to completely relieve me of a migraine while it was occurring! This is unheard of in Western medicine, where the emphasis is on pharmaceutical treatments and experiments. The acupuncturist was able to get me off my dependence on the triptans, and has guided me to be able to manage my headaches with only occasional need for follow-up. ----------------------------------------------------- UNBEARABLE ITCH RESOLVED WITH ACUPUNCTURE Acupuncture update Some of my regular readers may remember that I said I was going to try acupuncture for a horrendously intense itch I have on my left shoulder. This itch was beyond description - it would wake me at night and be so intense that there was no way it could be ignored. I can honestly say that it is worse than pain. No treatments, creams, medications, nothing would help the itch go away, so I finally tried acupuncture. I am SO happy to report that after three sessions, the itch is gone, completely and totally gone. I went into the sessions believing it would help. Interestingly, the acupuncturist told me that in Chinese medicine, the left shoulder and the colon/intestines are connected. After my first session, I had some relief, but 24 hours after that session, I experienced cramping and 3 or 4 days of IBS symptoms. That did not happen after the second and third sessions, so it is entirely possible that it was just a coincidence, but I thought it was interesting. Anyway, it's been 3 weeks since my third session and the itch is still gone. Believe it or not, I had been suffering with that itch for *9* years. I'm definitely a believer in acupuncture right now. http://medhealthwriter.blogspot.com.au/2008/03/acupuncture-update.html |
