A brave woman for stepping forward and opening a door for others to share. I am an acupuncturist and am currently treating a couple of people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Both have seen significant improvements. One who had lost her sense of smell as well, has regained about 50% of that sense back. It only took a couple of treatments and it remains, so that doesn't seem to be a temporary gain. Other improvements include less fatigue, clarity of thought, increase motivation to do things, able to do more, and quicker recovery if the tremors increase after doing too much. One patient has had his tremors go from 4-8 out of 10, down to 0-2 out of 10, with less tremor on the inside, which mostly now is 0.
Since acupuncture is different for everyone and PD can be so tricky to treat, it's definitely worth a try and if you don't have results with one acupuncturist, try another. The woman whose sense of smell partially returned had seen 2 other acupuncturists without result. I would also recommend finding an acupuncturist who has studied herbs as well, which I combine with the acupuncture.
