PUPPPs Relief Mission

PUPPPs is my thing.
I don't really want it to be my thing, but after having it with ALL of my pregnancies, it's my thing. I am a mom of 4 little girls, and I'm pregnant with my fifth sweet, tiny person. There are so many women out there suffering from PUPPPs and very few places dedicated to information about PUPPPs. My goal is to provide a one-stop-shop for information and conversation about this horrid rash.

I Finally Made the Order

I did it! I ordered a seven star needle!

"What on earth is that??" You may ask?

Here's an excerpt from my "Treatments I've Tried" post...

Chinese Medicine 7 Star Needle: supposedly complete healing relief
This is a bizarre one! I recently found out about this treatment through puppps.org. It uses a Chinese medicine device designed to treat hives. Here's a pic...
Crazy looking, no? Apparently, you tap the hive until it starts to bleed, and then that hive NEVER itches again. The testimony on puppps.org is really compelling!!! Otherwise, I don't think I'd even consider this treatment! You can find videos on youtube if you want to see the treatment in action. I'm currently building up the courage to order one from amazon. I'll let you know!

Well, I finally ordered one! $5 on amazon with free shipping. That's pretty cheap if it truly gets rid of the rash. The shipping was abominably slow, sadly. It'll probably be 3-4 weeks before it arrives, but when it does, I'll test it on myself and let you know!

      It seems pretty wild, but I'm willing to be a guinea pig!

    I asked an Acupuncture Specialist about the 7 star needle - just be careful. He said to me, "I have experience using seven star hammer's however, I don't usually recommend this because of the risk of infection."

      I thought of this too! I'm curious if they use a new "hammer" each time or replace the needles on the hammer each time. It seems like the needles would get dull quite quickly as well. Lots to learn before I begin "tapping." Thanks for the heads up!

      I'm SO sorry! Postpartum PUPPPs can be worse as you try to take care of a newborn too! I tried the hammer multiple times on multiple different outbreaks. I was trying multiple things at once, but I DO think it was helpful. I have another post about it that shows pictures! Let me find the link for you...
