Accupunture
Hi ladies, can anyone tell me if they have tried accupunture for relief of hot flushes? My oncologist recommended it as an option to try before using other medications. I am well and truly over these...
Hello Chris,
My hot flushes returned with a vengence once I started on the Arimidex. I was warned that they would.
There was an offer of a trial accupunture - which I willingly trialed and found immediate but no long lasting relief. Everyone is different and it may or may not work for you, give it a try. Although the fellow had to head off to the U.S for more trials and i didnt follow through with going to his collegue.
I highly suggest you do some homework first and go to someone that is recommended - try the accupunture and chinese medicine assoc. Also check with your private health fund if you have one as some have a list of accupuncturists they provide fund returns with.
All the best.
