Acupuncture Gastroparesis, Nausea, Vomiting

He said there was very little to do about my symptoms. I am a diabetic and gastroparesis is apparently neuropathy of the stomach muscle which causes paralysis of the stomach. Foods eaten take hours or even days to leave the stomach leading to nausea, pain, vomiting, malnutrition, bloating, weight issues, etc.

I didn’t know what to do so after months of feeling horrible, my sister suggested that I should try acupuncture. When I first started I noticed a difference immediately. I went every week for 4 weeks. Then I began to go every two weeks and so on. Today, I go once every 6 to 8 weeks. I have not vomited in more than a year! Hallelujah!

Carole and acupuncture have giving me my life back. I feel like I did several years ago before any of this started. Although, believe me, I know when it is time to go back, I begin to lose my appetite, I can feel my digestion slowing down and just a general malaise.

A side benefit has been that I also had restless legs and without even mentioning it to Carole that too has improved.

I was tentative about acupuncture as I think most people are but I find it very relaxing and Carole’s demeanor is so calming that I look forward to the treatments. Thank you Carole.
