Hey all!

I have been trying to cope with my most recent flare. I am on all my mezavant, and salofalk suppositories and enemas that I can take but they are just keeping the worst from happening. I have swelling and some mucus and diarrhea. The rest of my body is suffering something awful. Many of my body parts have been swollen for weeks and the pain in my joints is terrible. My acne is worse, I have put on weight (practically over night so I think it is related to the swelling) and I am weak.

So I have gone for blood tests and I am waiting for results. In the meantime, I have started acupuncture, cupping and massage with a local practitioner of Chinese medicine.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

I was in remission while going for acupuncture 3-5 times a week during half a year. Remission set in after a couple of days.

It should be Traditional chinese medicine. not the clinical acupuncture, which is based on western medicine.

Its time consuming and expensive but so very good result (for me). For easier ulcerative colitis I think they can "cure"

Im planning to start 3 time weekly again.
