acupressure?
hey ladies
its been so long since i have posted here. i still read the blogs often, just havent found the time (or what i might want to say publicly) to write.
but here goes.... has anyone here had experience with acupressure and children? i grew up with crohns disease. i started showing minor symptoms really young, the doctors brushed it off. by the time i was ten i was deathly ill and stayed terribly until i was about 23. i have always seen signs of my oldest daughter having a similar issues. when she was a toddler it seemed as though she was just attention seeking. i would casually validate her worry, then gracefully move on. now it is clear that she is not just attention seeking. i fear she has real, major tummy aches. the doctors were majorly UNHELPFUL to me, and what has kept me healthy is learning how to avoid getting sick in the first place with a strong awareness of my body, and marijuana. obviously, i wont be giving my 5 year old weed, but i would like to start to teach her how to be aware of her body, and how to let go of the pain, setting her free from the impending doom.
i was thinking that acupressure can be a good tool for that process. any feedback?

and I haven't tried acupressure yet (right now I've found some meds that seem to be helping). I have heard success stories with acupuncture for other auto-immune conditions though. One friend of mine treats her rheumatoid arthritis with it, and another does it for lupus. Both have said that it has really helped them.
I realize acupuncture is different from acupressure, and the needles would probably freak out a 5 year-old. I'd say it can't hurt to try it. I hope she feels better!
Have you ever been tested for wheat problems? I know that's not acupressure, but it's just a thought.
I have been receiving acupuncture for the past few months and I LOVE it. I wonder if biofeedback would also be helpful?
