Morning,

I just wanted to share my positive experience.

I have been diagnosed with acute/sub acute thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism, mild auto immune hyperthyroidism by 3 different doctors .. confused!! Being on carbimazole for 8 months and the last 4 months I have been really poorly.

With the doctors and endo not understanding my symptoms (one endo sending me a Ct scan as she didnโ€™t know why I was ill ..unnecessary stress) I looked into alternative healing whilst staying on carbimazole.

I found an amazing lady acupuncturists who took the time to listen to my symptoms and definitely felt she could help me rebalance my thyroid. I have seen her weekly for a month and now on monthly sessions. I made my dr and endo aware of this and they were really supportive.

I have week on week starting to feel more myself, I turn up and tell her my symptoms which she works with. I turned up one day dizzy and walked out of her office dizziness free! It really helped with the anxiety,panic and nausea symptoms too.

I saw her last night and she couldnโ€™t believe the difference in my appearance she said I no longer look like a nervous wreck and I look healthier and alive!! Such an boost. She thinks I am slightly dipping into hypo now I have a blood test next week so I will see if she is right, it wouldnโ€™t surprise me as I am freeeezing!! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Glad you are enjoying the benefits. I had a months treatment twice a week given to me for Free as my Physio was interested in the impact of acupuncture on raised anti-bodies. I had the biggest drop ever on my thyroid journey to reduce those pesky anti-bodies :-)

Wow thatโ€™s interesting about the anti bodies, I havenโ€™t had my bloods done since I started acupuncture so it will be interesting to see next week. Thatโ€™s great you had it for free as it can get expensive but worth it to get your health back!

I had my first acupuncture session last Friday and definitely feel better. The upper abdominal pain I've had for over a year has gone. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's appointment, and the blood test at the end of the treatment.
