Out of desperation, I went to an acupuncture specialist and his diagnosis is that it is probably a nervous disorder which regulates multiple functions of the body. Suddenly, it kinda made sense to me. I’ve been dealing with severe nervousness and anxiety for a few years now and have detailed this to multiple doctors. However, no one has made the connection so far. Now I’m not going to stop regular GP visits or medicines, but I’m quite surprised that not one doctor or specialist had thought about the holistic aspect of my health. It’s always localised and when they can’t find anything, they just call it anxiety.
Why, inspite of so many medical advances, are we not able to see the bigger picture in a lot of cases?!
This is particularly of interest to me as I suffer from PTSD and bad nerves also, I have never heard of acupuncture being a treatment for this and am a bit skeptical of cure all, snake oil like treatments.
