Interstitial Cystis
by Virginia Shemeliuk |
After three weeks of acupuncture (one half hour session each week) there was a VERY noticeable improvement in my symptoms. After approximatelyy five months of treatment, the pain of the disease is reduced by at least 90%, the old blood in my urine (caused by the Hunner's ulcers in the bladder) is 90% gone, I only void now every two or three hours (note that before I was voiding every FIFTEEN minutes), I can frequently sleep 6 or more hours a night without needing to wake and go to the bathroom, the spasming of my bladder is almost non-existence and I feel like I have been given my life back again. Yesterday, I rototilled the garden and helped fix fences, something I would NEVER have been able to consider only a few short months ago. I am so very impressed with acupuncture in the treatment of my disease that I am actively asking around to see whether it would be possible for me to learn this one technique so that I can have more freedom in my life. I guess I'm REALLY getting picky now - I'm free of pain as long as I have my half-hour per week acupuncture treatment and now I'm feeling so VERY well that I'd like to be able to DO things and not be tied to that half-hour treatment! Quite the ingrate I would say but oh, what a testimonial to the benefits acupuncture has given me!
