I Have A Great Accupuncturist In Berkeley Ca.

About two and a half years ago, my sister found out she had Celiac Disease, about a year ago I was diagnosed as well-kind of- my general practioner diagnosed me over the phone. I have to go through the public health care sector for health care because of a couple pre-exisisting conditions so my doctor thought it would be easier to diagnosis me in a more casual manner, because they only do intestinal biopsies to diagnose not the blood test. Anyway, I have been suffering from neurological symptoms for the past year as well as the usual pain that comes along with the disease and I was DESPERATE for help. I am not usually one to turn to Eastern medicin, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I started a Google and Yelp search in my area - Berkeley Ca- I found an accupuncturist with a five star rating and rave reviews. I honestly thought "Yeah, right. He can't be THAT good", well he is. Accupunture pretty much saved my life. My symptoms and body toxcicity was and is still so bad that I am on an 18 month treatment plan. My irritability has decreased significantly, I can go to the bathroom easier, I sleep better, I am no longer fatigued every day, after treatments I have no pain for days. I suggest to anyone looking for help or treamment or even reliefe. GO TO ACCUPUNCTURE! It helps so much, that I can not emphasize enough to you how much it has helped me. I am still on an active treatment plan but after two months, there is already imporovement. I am paying out of pocket because of my health care situation, but most health insurance companies will pay for your visits. For anyone in my area or even in the bay area, willing to travel, the Redwood Clinic in Berkeley is absolutely amazing. Dr. Sordean has helped me so much already. I hope this helps a few of you out there, who are suffering.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
