Hello Tommy,
“Have you thought about having your husband learn acupuncture?” << that would be lovely, but:
1. My husband works 10 hours a day, 7 days a week (he usually has 1 Sunday a month off). He lacks time to sleep. In addition, washing work clothes and fixing them every day, because the employer does not give work clothes often enough, takes his extra time. My husband doesn’t have time to eat a meal in peace, let alone do any learning.
2. My husband’s hands are constantly swollen. Since he started his current job, his hands have swollen twice and his hand tendon has partially knit together. I don’t think he is capable of holding something as tiny as an acupuncture needle in his hands.
3. It takes about 5 years to learn acupuncture (and Chinese medicine). After graduation, there is an average of one year’s internship in hospitals. Acupuncture is not something that can be learned in a few months.
In my case, the points that need to be punctured are close to the spinal cord and other important organs. These are not points that can be pricked just like that. It is one thing if you go to an acupuncturist with an infection and another if you have a chronic neurological disorder.
For some points it is possible to make a minimal mistake, but for others categorically not (the place must be very precisely located, the angle and depth of needle insertion too).
4. Another point – my current condition requires help now and not in a few years. And I haven’t found anyone so good who wants to help me for free. I wrote in my fundraising that I would also gladly accept acupuncture treatments if someone decides to do them for me free of charge.

As an additional question, because that’s what people always ask – if your husband works so much, why don’t you have money?
My husband is a manual worker, in a country where he does not speak German. My husband, like me, speaks Polish and English. He works for a small hourly rate but if he was paid for the number of hours he actually worked, I wouldn’t have to ask for help. But life is what it is. My husband’s employer is a master of creative accounting and worker exploitation. To change jobs, you need to have some savings. If you leave your job on your own, you do not get any allowance for 3 months. You have to survive somehow during this time, and the job market is not very interesting at the moment.
If a flat is maintained on only one salary and that of an unqualified manual worker, the chances of changing jobs are very difficult indeed.
I hope this answers all the points you have raised, Tommy.
