She has been taking medicines for all these years.Now she has used Botox injections for five times within a span of 3 months interval. Relief lasts for only 75 days period and again she needs botox.

Surgical methods are not 100% guaranteed and some websites say the patients lose hearing or eyesight.

Then i tried some acupunture treatments and my mom feels better now.so i surfed the web that can there be a cure by acupuncture and found your website and its information were helpful. now i have some hope in recovering my mom.

Well, first of all, when you have mentioned, HFS, I belive that you are actually referring to Hemifacial Spasms.



For your information, what you have described to me are also the most of the things that I have gone through before 5 years back when I was having the medication / Tardive Dyskinesia-induced Hemifacial Spasm - especially the eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking for countless times in a split second when it got worst (and at the same time, my mouth was badly twisted apart from having the twitchings). Besides, among the numerous others who have sought helps from me to deal with their similar eye-related disorders, well, most of the Hemifacial Spasms disorders are actually caused by the neurological and neuromuscular side effects of certain medications.



Well, I have tried Botox as temporary reliefs (3- 6 months' period each) for each therapy session) for my chronic rapid non-stop eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking. However, it's actually not a conclusive solution to the related disorders.



Whilst at the same time, I would also like to inform you and the others that the Botox medications are actually composed mainly of Botulinum toxin which are actually medical derivatives from Clostridium botulinum bacterium (which causes botulism) that have been intentionally abused before for the purpose of chemical warfare owing to its intense toxicity.

In respect of your inquiries, I would gladly like to give you the following details for your further references and clarifications :


1.Is the backside of the right hand palm the only point to treat or any other points to include.if any please mention it with or without a diagram.



As to this question, please refer to the diagram included in the following weblink :


http://curezone.com/upload/Art/Animation/Attachment_File.gif


Besides, there are also other acupuncture points that are related as well as cures for such eye-related problems. However, most of them are actually situated at the vulnerable parts around one's eyes. And hence, my opinion is that those acupuncture points wouldn't not be that suitable for the purpose of self-administered treatments.



Apart from that, as far as Hemifacial Spasms disorder is concern (which affects the mouths and other parts of one's face etc), by applying blunt-pointed-object-mild-pressings onto that "He Gu" acupuncture point, which is located on the wrist of one's hands (both left and right), it would actually generate a reflexology stimulus around one's entire face (rather than the eyes alone). As such, I believe that it is thus a safe and practical acupuncture point for Hemifacial Spasm disorders, especially the chronic uncontrollable non-stop eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking. And in particular, for self-administered treatments.



2.How many days of acupuncture treatment needed.



Well, that would depend on how serious is the Hemifacial Spasm disorders of your mother, especially the rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking problems, as well as how long she has suffered from it right from the very beginning. As such, please refer to the detailed descriptions of the self-administered needleless free-of-charge acupuncture / technique / cure for non-stop persistent rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking as included below : -


http://www.curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1233341#i


Honestly speaking, I obtained tremendous reliefs on the very next day after the acupuncture treatment (my abnormal eyelid-twitchings / eye-blinkings stopped completely). Whilst for the far less serious cases (non-TardiveDyskinesia cases), most of them would just experience the effects within hours after applying that acupuncture technique. Whilst for the really serious ones, well (the ones who have been suffering from such disorders for many years), it would usually take 5 - 10 days for them to obtain the desired reliefs from that acupuncture technique.


3.Where in the world can i have the best acupuncture treatment.if in india it would be more easier for frequent visits.


As a matter of fact, for some reasons my skins are extremely sensitive to the conventional prolonged needle-piercing therapy of acupuncture. And since that therapy is not that suitable for me, the acupuncturist attending to me is kind enough to impart to me a simple needleless acupuncture method (without using needles at all) to enable me to deal with my Hemifacial spasms / rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking problems.


And well, since the acupuncture technique can be praciticed on one's own, it's thus a free-of-charge cure. So, given that I'm a part-time social worker working for the health cares of others, i thus feel that it's a part of my vocations to recommend this self-administered needleless acupuncture technique to the ones who need it.


As such, please refer to the story behind the suggested self-administered acupuncture technique for abnormally rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking described above




Besides, there are in fact many people all around the world seeking helps from me through emails ever since the beginning of 2008 for their chronic eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking problems, especially the medication-induced ones. Frankly speaking, for those areas like the ones in middle-east, and unfortunately India and the countries surrounding it, there are hardly any acupuncture clinics / treatments available (based on what they have told me). And so, I hope that the self-administered acupuncture technique will be helpful to your mother in totally solving her problems once and for all,just like the numerous others.


4.Is there any diet restrictions that can control the twitching.


Well, there are certainly causes that lead to such muscle twitchings. They could be due to the neurological / neuromuscular side effects of certain medications, excessive caffeine intakes, overstraining of the eyes etc. Naturally, it would be in the best interest of the ones suffering from such disorders to make a clean break with the causes leading to such disorders. However, in the case of medication / Tardive Dyskinesia-induced chronic eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking, a switch to the better and more advanced medications with far lesser Tardive Dyskinesia / Hemifacial Spasms side effects would be quite an option (given that one may still need the related medications to deal with the other related disorders, and in my case, I switch from Risperdal to Seroquel after getting completely cured from the Hemifacial Spasm / chronic rapid non-stop eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking disorders).


5.Can there be 100% cure by acupunture method.


Actually, in the case of me and the numerous others who get totally cured once-and-for-all for those disorders through the self-administered acupuncture technique, we have taken MRI, CT-Scannings and other related medical examinations before. And these medical examinations actually show nothing abnormal at all.


And in fact, for the medication / Tardive-dyskinesia induced hemifacial spasms / rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking, currently there are no medical examinations that would be able to conclusively and definitely detect and diagnose the interferrences of medications onto the synaptic activities of the neurotransmitter chemicals / neurons that are widely distributed in our miscellaneous bodily nervous systems to the point of muscle spasm / neuromuscular disorders .


So, my comment is that, if your mother's medical scenario actually falls into the category that I have described above, well, then I believe that there is quite a good chance that she will get fully recovered once and for all from her disorders.


6.Is there any home remedies to control twitching.


Well, that is actually not to my knowledge. Whilst the logic behind the self-administered needleless acupuncture cure is such that, well, since the related muscle-twitchings are caused by certain "contaminating agents", such as the undesirable remnants of certain medications that antagonize the normal functionings of the neurotransmitter chemicals (especially dopamine which is responsible for all the human body physical movements), then, getting rid of them from the related nerves around the twitching muscles through the acupuncture treatment is thus the most direct and effective way of dealing with such neuromuscular / muscle-twitching disorders and to stop the related muscle twitchings.

first of all i would like to thank you for your e-mail.I found your problem being more severe than my mom and really glad that you are fully recovered.

The information was very useful.

some of the doubts my dad wants to clarify :

1.As you had twitching a countless times in a split second,its more serious than my mothers case,how many days or months did it take to recover completely.This would help me to calculate the recovering time for my mom.

2.even after cure are you still continuing the acupuncture treatment these days.

Thank you,
Madan

Thanks for the feedbacks.


As such, I hope that my replies as follows will clear your doubts about the questions you have asked.



1.As you had twitching a countless times in a split second,its more serious than my mothers case,how many days or months did it take to recover completely.



Well, actually I suffered from such chronic rapid uncontrollable eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking and other Hemifacial Spasms symptoms (from the Tardive Dyskinesia side effects of certain medications) for about more than one year. And eventually when I was instructed with that self-administered needleless acupuncture technique as a cure for all these neurological / neuromuscular disorders, it actually took me about 2 months' time exercising that acupuncture technique consistently and daily (in my case, 2 continuous hours / day) to enable me to get totally cured once-and-for-all in the end.



This would help me to calculate the recovering time for my mom.


Honestly speaking, out of so many people seeking helps from me for their similar related disorders of different degrees of severities , well, for the mild and short-term cases (less than 6 months), some of them would totally recover once-and-for-all within weeks. Whilst for the really serious ones, especially those suffering from the like-disorders for many years, it would certainly take about a few months' time for a full and complete recovery to be achieved.




All in all, that would actually depend on the healing progress of the individual people suffering from such disorders. In this regard, based on my personal experience as well as the feedbacks I have received from the ones seeking helps from me, it's such that once that self-administered needleless acupuncture technique is proven to be effective for them in the very first place, exercising them subsequently and consistently would then just serve the next-steps and the other purposes of reducing the muscle twitchings progressively (in terms of the really serious cases), to just prevent the related muscle-twitchings from coming back after the curative effects have taken place for the very first time (just like what me and some othes have experieced), and then, to get such disorders gradually and totally cured (in a realistic and practical way - please refer to my preceding post above) once and for all in the end.


2.even after cure are you still continuing the acupuncture treatment these days.


For your information, for me and the numerous others who have been suffering from the similar disorders, we would not need to exercise that acupuncture technique anymore once we are totally cured once and for all from them.


As for my case, I no longer need to exercise that acupuncture technique anymore ever since I have achieved full and once-and-for-all recovery for the disorders ever since 5 years back. And well, the reasoning behind this is that, there is no relapse at all of such disorders ever since I get totally cured once and for all, and given that my pair of eyes are just as normal and healthy as and to any other people (I mean for anyone I meet), I simply need not do anything for those disorders / symptoms that have disappeared completely.


Lastly, I would wish a speedy and full recovery for your mother's like-disorders and good luck.

Hello madam,
My mother has twitching on both eyes and mouth on the right side.
my mother took botox course on apr 19th (90 days over).This is her sixth course.Now severe twitching started again.
she consulted accupunturist(lady).she advised needless blunt pen and after that we came across your advise which coincided.
first four days she targetted the middle of the last two fingers of the left leg.Then as per your advise she targetted the hegu point and found twictching increased.so she suggested the middle of the last two fingers of the left leg because she said my mother's gall bladder is weak.

we showed your website report to the accupunturist.she told that my mothers problem is quite different from your problem.
for the past 21 days my mother used to give self treatment from 3.30pm to 5.30pm.from 4pm she feels improvement gradually and from 4.30pm to 7pm - 3 1/2 hrs she feels trouble free(100%).after then twitching starts .we come to the conclusion that two hours of pressing - 2 hrs relief.

doubt :
1.you resolved your twitching in 60 days.but first 3 weeks did you face the similar results like my mother.
2.major doubt - accupunture point leg or hand which should be followed.

waiting for your earliest reply.
Madan

Thanks for your feedback and I hope that the following information included will be helpful to you.



"we showed your website report to the accupunturist.she told that my mothers problem is quite different from your problem. "



"she suggested the middle of the last two fingers of the left leg because she said my mother's gall bladder is weak. "


In this case, I would wish to tell you that any disorders associated with gall bladder would result in neuromuscular / neurological disorders associated with the chronic facial / eyelid twitchings / eye-blinkings (please refer to : http://www.acuxo.com/meridianPictures.asp?point=GB1&meridian=Gall%20Bladder for the descriptions of all the points associated with gall bladder - and I believe that the vulnerable points are avoided for the health care interest of your mother - a s such please refer to the flow of the 'Qi" of these related acupuncture points) . And hence, I believe that it's the reason why the acupuncturist would suggest the other acupuncture point for the intended treatments.


However, apart from the acupuncture treatment, I would strongly recommed a body check-up for your mother, especially in terms of her gall bladder in order to find out if there is anything wrong with it for further safety precautions and to deal with it accordingly.



"for the past 21 days my mother used to give self treatment from 3.30pm to 5.30pm.from 4pm she feels improvement gradually and from 4.30pm to 7pm - 3 1/2 hrs she feels trouble free(100%).after then twitching starts .we come to the conclusion that two hours of pressing - 2 hrs relief.


1.you resolved your twitching in 60 days.but first 3 weeks did you face the similar results like my mother."



In my case and the others (the average grown adults between 20 - 50 years old), whose chronic eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking is caused primarily by the muscle spasm side effects of medications, our conditions just get better and better day after day in the sense that the effective period of reliefs (100 % twitching-free periods) after the acupuncture cure just extend and last longer and longer until the disorders get finally and totally cured whilst the symptoms just vanish completely in the end.



And please be informed that acupuncture treatment may work much slower for the older persons (due to their reasonably weaker bodily and health conditions and lower rate of metabolism) compared to the younger adults. Hence, I believe that greater patiences swould be needed in your mother's case in dealing with her illnesses so that she would get gradually and progressively better and better from time to time.


In this case, a few months' times are surely needed for that purpose.


"2.major doubt - accupunture point leg or hand which should be followed."


Well, actually I have never been informed about the underlying causes of facial / eyelid-twtiching / eye-blinking of your mother as well as her personal details, such as her age, health conditions, medical history (especially the problems with her gall bladder), and hence, I believe that the acupuncturist who is more well-informed of these information will be more accurate in the diagnosis and proposed cure for your mother's case especially as to the acupuncture point on the leg of the location you have specified.



Anyway, when that particular acupuncture point on the leg has proven to be effective in dealing with her twitching disorders, I believe that it would be reasonable to stick to the advices of the acupuncturist.



Nevertheless, based on my experiences of dealing with the health cares of the older persons, especially the ones with weaker inner organs, I would strongly recommed other further medical / therapeutical / nutritional efforts in your mother's case other than the acupuncture therapy alone to deal with your mother's health disorders in a much more effective way.
