2. Week van de Acupunctuur

Through friends, I once came into contact with acupuncture and was treated for hay fever. Years later, a friend gave me very good references for Ellen Olie, in case I wanted to see an acupuncturist again.

Choosing acupuncture again
I have always been interested in Chinese philosophy and medicine, and I also have many people around me who are involved in it. Among other things, with Tai Chi and QI Qong. Acupuncture helped me a lot with my hay fever, so when I developed other symptoms and didn't get any further with my GP, I immediately chose acupuncture again and made an appointment with Ellen.

All vague symptoms
I went to Ellen because of a severely itchy rash on my stomach and very painful feet due to retaining water. She immediately linked that to menopausal symptoms and asked me all sorts of questions about other possible symptoms. Stabbing pain in my left breast, dizziness, sleep disorders, seeing stars in front of my eyes, foggy brain, depression, and panic attacks; all vague symptoms that I had not linked to menopause myself, but which were related to it. After six treatments, most of the symptoms were largely gone.

A clear head
I have been going to Ellen for about three years now. In phases; when I have severe symptoms, I make another appointment. And that is also what Ellen indicates, I do not feel obliged to go. So earlier this year, I did hormone therapy through my GP for my foggy brain. However, I experienced so many side effects from that medication that I am back in treatment with Ellen. Since then, my head has been much clearer, I make fewer mistakes at work, and I don't have to run around with notes all the time.

I feel heard
Ellen takes her time, listens well, and asks good follow-up questions. She tells you what she is going to do, documents everything well and thoroughly, and also consults in between. It always starts with a conversation about how you are doing, where things are going well, and where things can be improved. During the treatment, she makes it as comfortable as possible for you; with or without light/music/warmth lamp on. I feel very heard and seen and always come out completely relaxed. Sometimes I can already feel during the treatment what it does when she places a needle somewhere. Small needles that do not go deep into your body, but do cause flows and tingling sensations. I find that very special and amazing.

A great gift
It is a shame that menopausal symptoms are still a neglected area in Western medicine. It can limit me so much that I cannot function normally, both privately and at work. That is why acupuncture is a great gift; it means a lot to me.
I would like to invite everyone to explore whether it brings something to you. I am aware that it can be different for everyone, but just give it a try. Acupuncture can give you a huge balance in areas where you are lacking.
