Stress Acupuncture

The most stressful time in my life was a few years back when I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).This just means I don’t ovulate.

When I got the news I was so stressed out because my husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for years without any luck. I felt like I was put into a permanent bad mood. My grades in my college courses dropped and I started making less money at work. It was like everything was going wrong.

Normally I would talk to my friends about what was bothering me, but their comfort seemed too distant to me. When I opened up about that subject people would give me unwanted advice. No one that I was talking to had any idea what I was going through.

One afternoon at school I spotted a flyer for acupuncture. I haven’t had any experience with acupuncture, but I decided to make an appointment anyway. After my first appointment I felt wonderful. It was like everything that was weighing me down had magically melted away. Going in I didn’t expect much, but now whenever I am overly stressed, I go for an acupuncture session. All I would say is if you have stress in your life try it out.
