Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with Parkinsons/MSA and have been treated with acupuncture, preferring not to take the prescribed levadopa. When symptoms are worse I go every week but usually I can keep it stable with a visit every two weeks. I have tried levadopa but found the acupuncture worked better. Obviously it depends on the acupuncturist’s knowledge. Things got a bit tricky with the lockdown and that is when i went on the levadopa because i couldn’t get to my acupuncturist. Carolyn
Carolyn, in what ways has acupuncture helped with your symptoms? I’ve always wondered what it feels like after a session. Does it relieve tension?
