I heart accupunture and it works a treat for me. I have had it for insomnia, migraines and MS. I was lucky that the GP I used to work with did accupunture too so in my lunch breaks I would get her to give me a few needles depending on what was bothering me at the time. I also had ear accupunture where a small needle is inserted into a certain part of your ear and left there for a week. It all worked really well for me....Damn miss working at the medical centre

I've used accupunture heaps and I LOVE it!

I first started having it a few years ago to help with my migraines (I was getting them weekly and only get one from time to time now).

I then had accupuncture to help with my cycles, during pregnancy for ms, indigestion, back pain, you name it, I got accupuncture for it

Its so relaxing and I found it works a treat! ]]> Mon, 14 Jan 2008 18:27:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13607&PID=277368&title=anyone-tried#277368 <![CDATA[anyone tried ... : I have used it for muscle stuff...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13607&PID=277366&title=anyone-tried#277366 Author: Mazzy

I have used it for muscle stuff mostly, in my ankles and my back, physiotherapists do it to help with certain injuries.
I plan to try it this pregnancy to help keep my blood pressure in check, but have no experience with it in that respect.
From what I have heard, it is often quite effective, sometimes not. But not terribly invasive (I couldn't feel the needles at all) and worth a shot I reckon! ]]> Mon, 14 Jan 2008 18:20:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13607&PID=277366&title=anyone-tried#277366 <![CDATA[anyone tried ... : I used it last year to help with...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13607&PID=277349&title=anyone-tried#277349 Author: almostthere

I used it last year to help with my faltering energy levels and badly controlled diabetes. I also tried cupping.. They both worked wonderfully for me! I had bounds of energy and the diabetes was alot easier to control after a few sessions.]]> Mon, 14 Jan 2008 17:25:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13607&PID=277349&title=anyone-tried#277349 <![CDATA[anyone tried ... : LilFatty - I used it in my last...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13607&PID=277348&title=anyone-tried#277348 Author: MummyFreckle

LilFatty - I used it in my last few weeks of pregnancy, and I believe it helped to kickstart the process - but not sure! Fingers crossed for you!

I've just started acupuncture to sort out my cycles and after 4 sessions - I think its definately working!

It's been great because not only has it seemed to shorten my cycles (which were getting longer) its reducing other ailments I've had (headaches etc).

I would totally reccommend it!]]> Mon, 14 Jan 2008 17:11:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13607&PID=277344&title=anyone-tried#277344 <![CDATA[anyone tried ... : I used accupuncture when one of...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13607&PID=277333&title=anyone-tried#277333 Author: lilfatty

I used accupuncture when one of the nerves in my inner ear ruptured and I kept falling over lol....it worked well and for someone who hates needles I didnt find it at all worrying.

Im going to try it to "naturally" induce labour should this wee baby stay put much longer

I suffered from real bad RSI/OOS when I worked for banks callcentre and I had intense physio along with accupuncture and it was the best thing I ever did. I believe it cured me, I haven't had any problems now for around 3 years.

I've also tried it for my migraines, unfortunately it hasn't been as successful... ]]> Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:20:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13607&PID=277239&title=anyone-tried#277239 <![CDATA[anyone tried ... : Oh bum...I have lost the word...you...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13607&PID=277233&title=anyone-tried#277233 Author: peanut butter

Oh bum...I have lost the word...you know when they stick needles in you to fix things. (cant believe I have lost the word. My brain has turned to mush)

Anyway, I have an inflammatory Bowel disease which I think is flaring up at the moment after about 7 years of no problems As I am breastfeeding and hoping to get preggers again this year I dont really want to take any drugs if I can help it. So I was thinking of alternative therapy and this is something I have always wondered about.

So I ask.....has anyone tried it and what for and did it work?

ACUPUNCTURE!!!!! Thats what I'm talking about.
