After going to 3 GP’s, taking tablets that didnt work and having a hospital test (camera up my behind test) that came back as ‘normal’ I still am suffering from really bad bloating of my stomach which makes me feel so drained and crappy, stomach pains and always tired for the past year, I also have suffered from depression for the past 3 years too, so I decided to try the Chinese treatment. Initially they gave me the herbal tea to try, I tried this for a week and when I went back they told me I was having a slow reaction to the herbal tea and recommended still taking the tea for a few weeks but also to start Acupuncture straight away as this was the best way to treat my condition as it would be a faster method to see results. I agreed to go ahead, but can’t help but be still abit sceptical.
Please can anyone tell me their experiences of having Acupuncture for treatment of bloating and depression???
Many thanks

He stays calm and sleeps approximately 6-7 hours a day. Not all baby boomers I’ve met, and, treated are like Bill.

I know I was diagnosed and, treated for cancer and I need all the help I can get.
