Reiki and acupuncture for CFS

Posted , 5 users are following.

first of all, about five years ago I had my first bout of chronic fatigue as a result of a viral infection. It lasted for about six to eight months. I thought I was done with it. But no, I got it again as a result of another infection. has anyone experienced this? I've been using acupuncture do help with the symptoms of fatigue and body aches and depression and it helps a little bit does anyone else have any experience with Reiki or acupuncture helping?

    I found acupuncture helped temporarily with pain symptoms but did nothing for the fatigue unfortunately.

    Hi Sheila,

    I have tried both and like the previous comment, acupuncture helped with the pain temporarily, but not the fatigue. The reiki however, has helped me with fatigue in the past.

    Good luck if you try it and let us know how you get on.

    I have tried both and found reiki made me feel much worse and the first time I tried acupuncture I got temporary relief from the pain and fatigue for about a week but the second time I tried it I felt a lot worse. I've found the most helpful things to be pacing, healthy diet, gentle yoga stretches and guided meditations.
