Dear all eczema sufferers, I have had eczema all my life, but this year, it got unberably bad, with itching, pain, all over my body-- moving, bathing and clothing myself was painful. After exploring all the options that western medicine has to offer, i have decided to go in for acupuncture and chinese medicine. It has been two weeks and I am slowly recovering. Though the process is not immediate and involves strengtening my immune system through herbs, change of diet etc, it feels good and i am happy to be off the steroids and antihistamines. My doctor tells me that it may take months for me to becoem 100% normal as it is a constitutional ailment and I waited for it to become extremely acute. But the immediate and intense discomfort has already gone. Acupuncture is painless and feels great!! FInd a good, recommended, licensed acupuncturist and try it out. Cant hurt! Here\'s hoping to share a complete victory with all of you! Radhika
