Update on Ainslie & accupuncture

[Guest guest]

Ainslie has been having accupuncture for the past 7 weeks now. She

currently has a virus which is giving her croup and we have not had

to use her stronger antibiotic cipro.

The doctor giving her the accupuncture started out with laser and has

slowly built her up to having 5 needles!!!!! Two of which are usually

attached to a battery to increase the intensity of the treatment. I

am truly amazed by her agreeing to this treatment, although she

complains about having to go, but when given the option to quit she

doesn't want to. My gut feeling is that she feels better at the

moment due to the accupuncture. If you ask her she says " it doesn't

seem to be doing anything " in a typical preteen manner.

We will probably continue through out our summer holidays just once a

week and then come off it - not sure we will have to wait and see.

Depends on the finances as well.

We are happy with the results so far, now Ainslie has gone 6 months

wihout cipro which is a record since she started on it when she was

6 - now she is 11.
