Guest guest Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Hi, I have acupuncture once a week. I wish I could have it done every few days, but it gets expensive... The acupuncturist can't use it specifically to pinpoint the pancreas, because we don't have a pressure point for it, but he uses other organ pressure points close to it, eg..the spleen, liver & gallbladder and kidneys. Of course my main problem these days is my tumours everywhere else in my body, but I was so surprised the first time I had acupuncture, and 1/2 way through the treatment, I was able to take a deep breath without pain, and all my pain just went away. It lasted 6 hours the first time, and then a full 12 hours the second. My last one hurt me like crazy, but that is because I now have more tumours growing and the chi energy is blocked all through my right side, but again is one of those things where it has to hurt to get better. Me not being able to take a deep breath was due to muscle pain from having part of my stomach muscles removed during surgery, yet after that first treatment, I was able to breathe normally with not an ounce of pain. Worth every penny even if it only lasts a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Amen . I too do acupuncture but only once a month. I would be lost without it. And I try to go right before mother natures visit once a month. It works on both problems and minimizes the pain wonderfully. I know it is not nice to full mother nature but if the chinese can do it so can't I !!!! Lily Acupuncture works for me Hi, I have acupuncture once a week.
