They can start and stop your periods and balance your hormones so you don’t have pain, high blood loss, feeling faint, periods dragging on when it’s like brown smears for days either at the start or finish etc.
I had my first appointment and she did her thing and I was to let her know when my period started and she said for my age etc it should run about three or four days only.
I phoned her on day three as requested to give her an update on what was coming out ( eg clots, red or brown, light heavy or whatever, leave your dignity at the door) and she said to come in the following day so she could stop it. I did so and got more needles and it stopped.
Same thing the following month, two treatments, before and after period. Repeated next month.
So a series of six sessions and that held me on course with regular, light, short periods for about six months I think.
I wish I had known as I’d have gone as a teen and balanced my hormones out with her needles as I was off school with period problems and ended up on the pill at a young age.
Anyway it’s £50 a session here and worth every penny to not have swollen boobs and big belly with water retention, the period problems I mentioned, and then periods coming fortnightly exhausting me.
It’s not cheap but it worked out at £50 a month average (6 sessions in 3 months benefitting for six months total).
After six months I needed treated for it again and so far that’s been fine. It was just a further two sessions about three months ago and I’m doing ok still.
She also treats me for other things and it’s amazing. Things my gp can’t fix are fixed with needles. Apparently it’s about to go in the NICE guidelines but I don’t know what conditions for. I’d not go to a gp for sessions even if mine offered as an actual acupuncturist will have years more experience than a gp only doing it now and again.
