Experiences with

Ear Acupuncture

I have found three things that have helped me, ear acupuncture to lessen my stress.

I'm 34 yo, diagnosed with severe endometriosis and trying to conceive naturally. I met with a consultant from UCLH (Dimitrios Mavrelos) and he suggested IVF. My heart sank when I heard it. It's been almost 8 months since we've started trying but no luck so far. I'm now looking into alternative medicines

[i]After every night there will be light[/i] 💓 Hello everyone out there, sick people and relatives. 👋😊 I wanted to give you all an update on my rehabilitation. 🤕 I have been at home since June 24th after a 16-day stay in hospital following an encephalitis of unknown origin (probably autoimmune

So I’ve have had one round of IVF which failed. Once we’ve got the money for another round we are going to try again 🤞 is there any benefits to Acupuncture, if so when and what stage of the cycle.

I recently took a blood test, suggested by a acupuncturist, and it has come back as being positive for high levels of Thyroglobulin antibodies. Obviously ive disappeared down the rabbit hole that is internet searching and now panicking that this is the reason ive had to BFN's from recent IUI treatments

Does anyone here have a 2 day period and gone on to have a successful ivf pregnancy? Was it a medicated or natural transfer? I’m planned to have a natural modified transfer but my acupuncturist was surprised I wasn’t on oestrogen as she thought it may explain my short periods. I also always spot before

hi all, I just wondered if anyone has ever taken Chinese herbal medicine alongside ivf medication? I had acupuncture today for the first time and the lady also specialises in Chinese herbal medicine and has had training in infertility. She said she works with a lot of patients from my clinic.

Hello I've recently finished my third cycle. I've only had 2 embryos to transfer from three rounds. I'm 39 and have low AMH levels (likely due to age along with two ovarian operations - as levels were very good ahead of surgery). I am usually a really positive person and I would say I've handled IVF

Hello everyone. I have recently been grappling with the idea that I might have some level of ptsd from my periods. I get intrusive thoughts of when it’s made me sick, times my parents have been holding me to try and keep me awake and the time I was in hospital (the harshness of the lights, the nausea

Just wanted to see if anyone had positive experiences and improvement by using these therapies?

I was diagnosed with PD on 8/8/2024. I have never suffered from anxiety until that date. Since my diagnosis, I have severe insomnia. If I take a low dose Xanax (which my doctor doesn’t me to do every night), I sleep all night. I’ve tried taking Escitalopram and Buspirione and both made me incredibly

Since developing thyroid issues my health anxiety has really ramped up. I think it probably started when I was trying to get pregnant/pregnant (an awful, very stressful time) but it's now morphed into a monster really. The constant checking of bodily symptoms, over reaction to some symptoms is leaving

Hello, Seeing that no medication help at the moment I was wondering if I should try spiritual healing . Anybody had experience with that before ? Or maybe acupuncture?

Hi all, hope all are well and embracing this season of change - I LOVE autumn and cosy soup weather. I have recently turned 43 and just had our third round of IVF with PICSI - we took a break for Glastonbury to let off steam after 2 rounds, and to get (and implement) expert supplement and nutrition

has anyone had positive results from acupuncture on fibromyalgia pain or fatigue? And if so can anyone recommend someone in the dawlish Teignmouth etc area? Thanks all

Hi, I’ve been reading with much interest lots of threads in this forum – it’s lovely to see all the sharing of information and thoughts of care for each other. My husband (69) has been diagnosed with metastatic PC at the end of May. To begin with he was on bicalutamide for a month, then switched to

(Update in the comments, thank you all 💜) Hi all - we made it to another weekend! I have had my proverbial bubble royally burst today and I'm struggling to find the positive. Any positivity-boosters welcome - have tried some walking, lovely pulse point oils and a good old cry so far but I need to

I have GCA and have managed to reduce to 2 mgs prednisone daily. I have a neck problem which I think stems from taking a lot of steroids. Would acupuncture help? Anyone with experience?

My 73 year old dad hasn't been himself since around early 2023, not his jokey self, reserved and quieter. He looked after my Nan throughout the pandemic and care increased over the years since, moving to end of life care from start of Jan until she passed away in May this year. Over this time he has

Keen to try anything that might help/alleviate symptoms - and wondered about acupuncture, which I've used for other issues in the past... Anyone had any experience of using acupuncture for tinnitus? Not an obvious route I guess, but wondered if anyone had tried it?
