Acupuncture for what ails you (pms)

[a-typical.livejournal.com]

Hey guys :)

For the past 9 weeks I've been having acupuncture for various health problems I have. For some of my bigger issues (chronic nausea and IBS) it hasn't helped, but for many other things it has. My period pain is almost non-existent. I used to have heavy and painful periods, even though I'm on the pill (it's way worse when I'm off the pill). The acupuncture has reduced the amount, and the cramping. PMS is also really excellent. It takes a while for it to kick in (it took me wil my 4th or 5th treatment) because it works in an accumulative way. My headaches, which I was having every day, have gone completely. I'm no longer dizzy when I first stand up.

If you're having PMS and cramping woes, I really suggest acupuncture. I went into it taking everything she told me with a grain of salt, but it's really working well for me in those areas. I can't believe the wonderful change, and I can highly recommend it :)

A good acupuncturist can work wonders! I'm going to one for the first time very soon and I'm looking super forward to it.

I see a "Chinese Medicine Practitioner", because they do everything, acupuncture, chinese herbs, chinese massage, the little glass suction cups.

My accupuncturist is great, she's the second one I tried (the first was just didn't seem to be interested in learning all of it, and didn't seem to know anyhwere near as much as my current lady).

And it's really fun, too!! It's so weird seeing little pins sticking out of your body at 90 degree angles.

I hope your practitioner is really good :)
