Acupuncture has helped reduce my seizures
Sat, 04/01/2006 - 22:19Topic: Complementary Therapies
I've been receiving acupuncture once a week for the last month and it has made a great difference in the frequency and severity of my Simple Partial Seizures.
I just wanted to share this and see if anybody else out there has tried it and if it has worked for them.

I've heard that it's quite important to tell your doctor of any alternative therapies you are trying. I think that's especially true for herbal supplements as these can actually interact with medications, but it's worth mentioning acupuncture too.
I started this thread last year and I have to say that the acupuncture did seem to help at first, but then I started experiencing complex seizures during the sessions and had to stop.
But these treatments have different results for everyone, so it's worth trying for your daughter. I hope you find something that works for her.
Best of luck.

This is something I never thought of, I wonder if my Neuro knows of one where I live here in the boonies. I'm up for trying just about anything.
