Acupuncture has helped reduce my seizures

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'm not sure how old you can start, but just make sure if and when you chose an acupuncturist, that he has been doing this for yrs and does children. My son is 13 and has had seizures since the age of 1. He has tried 13 diff meds and he was still having seizures every night. He has been getting acupuncture for about 6 wks and he hasn't had a seizure in about 3 wks. I thank God every day for allowing me to see this alternative for my son's health. Good luck to you, you are your child's best advocate.
