Can acupuncture or alternative medicine treat this?

hm,

Well for the last 3 years ive had tingling and moving vibrations and feelings in my whole body all day every day. When I say whole I mean WHOLE. Just sitting here still I can feel the strong tingling and moving feelings going up through my arms and in my head and in my legs all at once. no breaks or anything..just constant..i told my acupuncturist about it and stuff..she didnt really say what she thought it was..

sounds like a nerve thing to me.. maybe a pinched nerve in your spine or neck maybe? just a guess.

Sounds like nerves to me too. Could try r-alpha lipoic acid for nerve regeneration, and l-glutamine powder for tissue repair. It would be best to get lab tests by an orthomolecular M.D. The Orthomolecular Society can mail you a list of doctors in your city.

Re: Can acupuncture or alternative medicine treat this?

I got blood tests done 4 months ago after I told my doctor about it. All came back normal. I asked my acupuncturist about it today and she said its one of those things you scratch your head about. Shes hoping when we get all these imbalances straightened out and my anxiety disorder,itll help.

What about anxiety disorder? Ive talked to a lot of people whoe say they had these feelings and that they were from hypochrondria..

fibromyalga? ugh. freak it

Re: Can acupuncture or alternative medicine treat this?

When you're anxious and have an anxiety disorder everything scares you, you become paranoid at lots of things most people aren't scared of simply because your mind is overactive in thinking about danger. Hypochondria is just an unrealistic fear of getting sick or physical problems. When you're anxious you also go looking for things that may or maynot be wrong with you and that can make you worse because it's a never ending cycle. You become overly aware of things like rining ears, that funny feeling in your hands, eyes, stomach, back etc.. and concentrating on these feelings can even magnify them more than they are. Having said that when you're stressed and anxious many regulatory systems in your body get thrown off and that can cause all sorts of real symptoms not just imagined. Every doctor will acknowledge that stress hormones can age a person prematurely, cause insomnia, depression, high blood pressure etc.. so the main thing to do is make sure all the blood tests come out fine and make sure it's not a nerve problem. Then if they really can't find anything really wrong then you should stop chasing your symptoms. If it's really just anxiety and stress then change your diet to something more healthy and doesn't have too much sugars. Excercise alot to burn off those stress hormones, take multivitamins, take regular doses of fish oil and yes maybe even see acupuncturists or massage therapists to help you along your healing process and help you body do what it's supposed to and bring you back in balance. That's how i did it now I'm mostly all symptom free. Good luck.

Frank
