Hi I know this thread is a bit old but I cannot bear to see anybody suffering the way my DD has after having her baby (via IVF by the way). She was in terrible pain - could not even hold baby. However, the Chinese acupuncturist has greatly improved her condition so much so that she is 90%+better. She has also had Chinese Herbs. Having spoken to clinical nutritionists and read Patrick Holford's book and Strong Women and Men Beat Arthritis by Nelson I am convinced that conventional medicine merely treats the symptoms (and causes more problems later) and NOT the cause. Get tested for food intollerances, toxins etc. and also look on the Margaret Hills Clinic website re. cider vinegar. I think my DD will give the complementary therapy 3 months before resorting to the drugs from NHS.
By the way the acupuncturis also help the fertility treatment. After two failed (private) attempts, she had acupuncture and then the third attempt for successful. Acupuncture on its own is supposed to be successful. Look it up!
