Re: alternative treatment questionFrom: Hela (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat Sep 17 16:52:41 2005
Hello Holly, My boyfriend did an acupuncture course (unfortunatelly his is not here at the moment - I would asked specific qest. about what you wrote) anyway - I asked him some time ago if acupuncture is really painless, and he said not always.. Theoretically, the pain should be just a symptom of manifesting and clearing up of much deeper pain (I cannot reallly speak on other than theoretical level, as I never tried it myself..) I am taking homeopatic remedy, but it is very slow process, so I am getting slowly better -still in a lot of pain though. About herbs - I am sure that there are herbs that dont trigger bladder problems, but you would have to discuss it with a professional herbalist.. Another thing that should help (but that is pretty slow process as well - worth trying though) is diet - i know it has been metioned here 100000000 of times - but if you eat healthily, you cant get worse from it! Well, i really hope that horrible pain will pass soon and also that you'll be much better!
