In response to my first post on Acupuncture in July last year, someone has just asked me whether it would be good for them? They are 1 month into into having Transverse Myelitis, but gave no details of severity or the spinal level.
My response was:
"Hi. We are all different, and our TM has differing causes. I cannot advise you to seek alternative medical care; I can only reflect on my own experience. I believe it helped me by restoring some feeling I had lost, by improving my energy, and by giving me hope. Latterly, it has helped me with chronic pain on the right side of my chest, but even after 4 years continues to increase the feeling in my feet and legs each time I have a treatment. Has it been helpful over the long term (4 years)? Well, you never know where you would have got to without it. But for me, I feel it has continued to be very helpful."
I would value any comments and discussion from others who may have used Acupuncture....
