i have noticed that you suffer from other conditions ..could the medication you take for these conditions cause stomach pain as a side effect ??

Hi Eternity78, Yes some of my medications can cause stomach pain,but there not Meds I can drop,but they shouldn't cause this much pain.

I've been taking some of these Meds way before this pain,and the pain has gradually got worse so I don't think it can all be put down to that.

Hello Gemini. I've only recently started having stomach problems and still waiting for all my test results so haven't tried anything for it as yet, however I'm training to be a reflexologist. I'm already trained in other holistic treatments and my advice would be to find a good therapist. Ask them if they have worked with clients with similar problems to yourself and how they feel they can help you. A good therapist will be happy to answer your questions. It's worth 'shopping around' for a good therapist. Good luck x

Hi Jls71, I know it's the wrong day ,to ask this but just reply whenever it suits you.

Could you give me a few of the best questions to ask a reflexologist. Thank you.

Hi, sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner. I would ask how many sessions would they suggest you'd need and what you can expect during and following treatment. Also be honest about what you expect from the treatment. We all have different experiences and success rates with medications and I'd say the same of complimentary therapies. You may be disappointed if you're looking to be cured but may find sessions relax you and help ease pain. It could be that you feel worse for a while after (as is normal the day after a massage for instance) but overall feel better. Also make sure they do a full consultation with you covering details on your health etc. I would ring round a few and see who sounds approachable - you need to feel comfortable with them. Not sure if that helps at all! X
