2. Week van de Acupunctuur

In March 2016, I gave birth to my daughter and after about nine months, she developed eczema on her legs. When she was about a year old, I expressed my concerns to my brother via What’s App. He responded that the eczema might not be that serious, so to show him how bad it was, I took a few photos and sent them to him. At that time, he was working as a gardener in Trudi's garden and showed her those photos. Trudi said, 'hm, I can't give any guarantees, but maybe I can help.' And that's how I ended up with Trudi.

A Much More Pleasant Experience
After six weeks, my daughter was almost free of eczema. One thing led to another, so years later when I was dealing with severe menstrual problems, migraines, digestive issues, hay fever, and eczema, I went to Trudi for myself. With the help of acupuncture, the symptoms became manageable. When she couldn't address my issues further, she advised me to visit a special Women's Clinic. There, after 20 years, I finally received a diagnosis: I have a genetic defect that prevents my body from absorbing vitamin B12 from food. Thanks to Trudi, this diagnosis, and the subsequent treatment, my life has become much more pleasant.

My Monthly Sanctuary
I still visit Trudi every month for maintenance. I am now 75% symptom-free, but Trudi is my monthly sanctuary. She considers everything in her treatment; your background, the life you lead. We have deep conversations about this. Thanks to acupuncture, I now have very few migraines, my hay fever is under control, and my digestive issues are much better. It has made my life a lot easier. Even my husband, the biggest skeptic, changed his mind after being treated for a severe allergic reaction to Christmas trees. Quite handy when selling Christmas trees is part of your job.
By the way, I have another beautiful story, the pinnacle of acupuncture for me:
I started experiencing weakness and numbness in the pinky, ring finger, and index finger of my right hand. I underwent various tests with a neurologist, including an MRI scan, and was referred to Radboud Hospital for further examination, but no one knew what it was. Trudi inserted needles into the inside of my left knee, and the numbness disappeared. Now, whenever I start feeling symptoms, I go to Trudi. This usually happens about once every three months.

Acupuncture First
Whenever something happens, I first consider acupuncture, then proceed if necessary. I am very open about this with my GP. They know what I'm doing and see that my symptoms have disappeared and that I need much less medication than before. It's very important to me that they are informed and I also feel supported by them.
My advice to anyone who is hesitant: just give it a try if you're stuck with your symptoms. You might be surprised by what they can achieve. It's crucial to have a connection with the acupuncturist so you feel comfortable.

Acupuncture has certainly made my life much easier.
