I've got to tell you, I LOVE doctors who do the East-meets-West thing, so I would really encourage you to give this a try. In my case, I had been having premenstrual spotting for almost 18 months. I saw an acupuncturist, and she stopped it within three or four months, not to mention that I got pregnant on only our second month trying. Now, you have a lot more going on physically, but I would try it for at least three months and see what happens. I know money is tight, so hopefully she can get your insurance to cover it. If your insurance won't, you can probably negotiate with her for a lower rate.
Eastern medicine is about kind of healing your body/stimulating your organs to get them to do what they're supposed to do, whereas Western medicine is more about covering the symptom. So, in theory, Eastern medicine could go a long way to healing what's broken.
Try not to get stressed about it, but do see if you can find a way to give this a try.
