Irregular Periods

I came to Helen Law as a last effort to resolve my irregular periods.  All of my life I had “normal” periods. When I turned 42 they started to get longer (eventually 9 days long), the flow was very heavy with a lot of clots, and very painful.   My gynecologist told me I had started perimenopause and that birth control pills were the best solution until I reached menopause.  Then she told me it could be 10 years before that happened.  I tried two different birth control medications.  They did help to shorten the length of my periods and some of the cramping but I had to deal with the side effects.  At the age of 45 I had become anemic, was bleeding almost everyday, and was extremely fatigued.  That’s when I found Helen.  Within minutes of my first visit I knew that acupuncture would help me.  Helen was confident and warm and caring.  She felt my pulse and told me what was going on with my body.  And she was right on!

Helen treated me with weekly acupuncture and Chinese supplements.  Within days, I had stopped bleeding and my energy was coming back at a rapid pace. I felt better than I had in years!  I will continue my treatment with Helen and am confident that my periods will be regulated.
