Acupuncture

[Vandemolen]

I went to an acupuncture therapist. She felt on a few trigger points on my body. Some did hurt, others did not. What hurted the most was the pubic area. She said that it hurted because I had a lot of UTI, bladder infections. Next week I will start with the treatment. Has anyone tried acupuncture for POIS? Maybe it will reduce the symptoms a bit? I read that acupuncture had an effect on the hypothalamus. The hypthalamus arranges heath and cold in your body. A few POIS patients have chills. So it might help a bit.

With all due respect Vandemolen but this is what kinda frustrates me about our current situation in POIS. Why reach out for alternative medicine? It costs tons of money and it's barely worth it. Why not operate within established medical literature? I feel like much more can be done if we use established medical knowledge to deduct possible explanations for POIS than to just go towards generalized treatment methods, like detox or diets, or even Acupuncture. I don't blame you, I'm just giving my opinion.

Costs tons of money? I am not living in the US 
Acupuncture does not cost me anything. It is included in my health care insurrance.

I agree with you that acupuncture is not a cure. But in my state I am happy with an improvement of 5%. I am not a doctor and I am not a scientist. I already tried tons of vitamins. And under supervision of my doctor I tried desensibilazation, cbd oil and Clomid.

Diets do not help me. But if others say it helps them I am happy for them.
