Stop Endo Pain

by Kristen
(Rhode Island )

I am a 34 year old female who was diagnosed with endometriosis in January of 2005. I was having unexplained pelvic pain for years. I believe I've had endo since I was at least 18. Less than 10 months after my surgery to remove the endometriosis, I started having pain again.

I went to 3 doctors and none would take me seriously. They wanted to put me on birth control or Lupron which in the past did not work. I was finally referred to a pain clinic. They put me on a drug called Lyrica. Yes it worked for the pain, but I gained 50 lbs on it and was having other side effects. I also was having painful periods and pain.

I started seeing Amelia in January 2008. I weaned my body off the Lyrica in one month. I was put on personalized Chinese herbs and I get an acupuncture treatment once a week. I feel great. Even more so not being on drugs and my periods are getting much better too. They are almost normal.

AMELIA IS THE BEST. I RECOMMEND HER TO EVERYONE. DON'T BE AFRAID TO COME OFF OF DRUGS OR BIRTH CONTROL. ACUPUNCTURE AND CHINESE HERBS DO WORK. I really believe that if I decided to have a baby Amelia could make it happen. However, I have decided to adopt because there are so many children that need homes. I thank every day I found Amelia. I can now live a normal life with endo.

Hi Amelia, I have also been diagnosed with low ovarian reserve with an AMH test. My question is since I can't conceive naturally, whether or not acupuncture will help in my situation? Will it help with a better response to medications thereby producing more eggs with potentially good egg quality to have a healthy child? What do you think of acupuncture and low ovarian reserve? Thank you for your assistance, Shelley

In my opinion acupuncture is better than Boston IVF. I started seeing Amelia Hirota at the Center of Balance after I had gone through 6 IVF cycles with 3 transfers. My last cycle ended with a miscarriage at 6 weeks. Learn why Samantha feels that acupuncture worked better than Boston IVF for her.

Dear Amelia, My name is Heather and I've been seeing an acupuncturist that I really like here in San Diego. I recently completed a comprehensive female hormone panel saliva test and it showed that I have high testosterone levels. I was told that I have too much sugar in my diet with possible PCOS. What do you think about high testosterone levels and PCOS?


Dear Amelia, I have uterine fibroids and I had a myomectomy when I was 27. My goal in to get pregnant and shrink the fibroids without undergoing another surgery. Please let me know what you think my coarse of action should be. Learn the answer to Oneka's question, "can acupuncture shrink uterine fibroids?" and ask your own questions too.
