Acupuncture

Pre-Lyme diagnosis, I have tried acupuncture multiple times for migraines and back pain, pregnancy, and endometriosis pain. Unfortunately, I didn't find much relief. But I do know lots of people do find relief. I think it's worth a try. We never know what will work for us and what won't. Even though it didn't personally help, I always found that whoever I saw was able to tell me a lot about my health that I wasn't even aware of. Things like sleep quality issues, stress, fatigue. I think good acupuncturists really know a lot about the whole body and holistic health.

Pre-Lyme diagnosis, I had it done a few times. I was still eating crap and had really bad digestive issues - nausea, loss of appetite. It really helped for that. Diet changes have really taken care of that now, though.

It seems to help for more specific issues - like a specific pain or nausea. But I feel like with Lyme I have 101 symptoms, and I don't think you can do a blanket acupuncture to cover everything.

I will say that I do find it amazingly relaxing, which is never a bad thing. And I love my acupuncturist. Wanted to add that she was one of the first to suggest Lyme. She knows way more about the body and illness than most of the doctors I saw.
