High blood pressure and relaxation alongside medical treatment for wet macular degeneration

I came to see Lily mainly because I was diagnosed with wet macular degeneration in my left eye and my blood pressure has been high on and off.  I have had acupuncture before and I'd read it could be helpful for these problems and for relaxation as well.

I was trying to change my diet and I had to have injections in the eye for the macular degeneration which I'm still having.  I’ve found the acupuncture very helpful, it complements the injections nicely and it's very relaxing.  I do still get stressed, but I can handle it better now.  The blood pressure is also much better controlled now and Lily is monitoring this regularly for me.  It has meant I can avoid blood pressure medication - at least for the time being - which is a really big plus for me.

I think Lily’s excellent, she’s very friendly, professional, helpful and a good listener.  She obviously knows what she’s doing and even with queries that might not be related to acupuncture, she’s very helpful and researches into certain questions that I have and advises on nutrition.  I’m really happy with the level of care I get and would definitely recommend her.
