Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) after treatment completed

What was your bad reaction? I've had 2 sessions of acupuncture (for ADT side effects - fatigue and hot flashes). Haven't seen real improvement but understand I need to give it a few sessions. Insurance doesn't cover cost but will pay whatever to combat the ADT negativity.

I went looking for help for some body aches and my pain by late afternoon became 10 times stronger O_O ! I was in a state of panic and luckily it all calmed down in couple of days but I never went back. BUT, as I already mentioned, my body is really hyper sensitive to everything. I can not even have shiatsu massage and I am sure I would end up in ER if anybody tries to make any chiropractic maneuver on me XP ! I sense weather changes 3 - 4 days ahead and am a better barometer than any weather station in this world ha ha. If I lived in olden times I would have been very valuable member of any tribe XP. I can also taste cyanide and would definitely be court's "food tester" for kings lol. I can smell things that most people can not or smell them very faintly - I wish I have NONE of those "talents" lol.

Be aware of that acupuncture only works for some people. Hopefully it works for you.
If you’re having so many problems with ADT, you might consider switching over to Estradiol. The patch study showed that taking estradiol worked just as well as ADT and had many few side effects. You can search the patch study and get more information so you can talk to your doctor about it if you’re interested.
The patch trial Completed in England recently and showed that estradiol worked just the same as ADT, but had many fewer side effects. It easy easier on your cardiovascular system, On your bones (osteoporosis), causes fewer hot flashes and less brain fog. If your doctor has not heard of the patch trial, there is a lot of information about it so come back and we can help you.
