DBP4620 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Has anyone ever had acupuncture for POTS, has it worked, what was the treatment protocol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E246 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Yes. The first treatment made me feel like i could walk again for the first time but the feeling fades. After that was not sure for a while. then i was too ill for a while but have been back over the last month every week and i really feel it helps increase my energy and functioning level. I dont think it's a cure but it has helped and i will continue to go.Hope this helps - good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppylove Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Yes. It helps to a certain degree, and makes my symptoms not as bad that day. But it does fade. I was so surprised at the "needles" when I saw them the first time. They are as thin as hairs and I couldn't really feel them being put in.

firewatcher Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I go regularly. I have had both insertion and non-insertion (Japanese) acupuncture done; both work. I also take Chinese Herbal formulas made by my acupuncturist. They are the closest thing that the world currently has to custom pharmaceuticals. Like any other medical professional, your results will depend on their level of experience and understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mully2014 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I've tried it before... I didn't get any relief but take this with a grain assult because nothing has ever worked for me yet. During my appts. I found out I was very unusual (hear this a lot) because I had exess and deficient energy. The acupuncturist tried lots of things but didn't know what to do with me.However, it is nice to go to figure out pressure points that can help you on a daily basis. For heart rate stuff it is on the left hand below the pinkie finger and then further down below the wrist. Make sure when you press there you don't go too fast just push down several times slow and steady.Good luck and hope it works for you!

toddm1960 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 I went for 8 months , never noticed any difference in any symptoms. I will say though I took awesome 30 minute naps with the soft sounds of music/running water in the back ground. I went through these treatments while I was still able to work, hoping to remain at work.......just didn't happen for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
