I only did it for 3 months it helped a bit, but I am in the same boat as I was. Was thinking of doing it again when I am in tx.

I LOVE Acupuncture and try to go once a week. When I miss it for about 4-6 weeks I definately notice a big difference so it is something you need to keep up and wow can it be costly..
It helps with my energy levels, pain, brain fog, headaches.. Just about everything!
It really is the one thing that helps me the most :)

Acupuncture is fantastic. I do it when I have pain for a course of a few months. When you stop, you need to think about how to keep your body well. If we fall back to old bad habit/bad posture, of cos pain will come back.

Acupuncture can help with a lot of problems apart from pain. Doc usually does acupressure first then the needle work. Sometimes, the needles get connected to electro stuff, great outcome. Especially with a heater above your body to help with circulation. I found a great Chinese doc - the best! I went for acupuncture thru NHS (UK), absolutely useless.

I can only tell you good things about Acup. The bad might be it is expensive in London (UK). I did it in China once before, it was cheap and fantastic.

Origionally my daughter had weekly (and sometime daily or bi-weekly) accupuncture. At first it was very effective at diminishing pain and increasing energy. However, as time went on it became less effective and didn't last very long. Also the 'pay-back' was that it increased tiredness. It got to the point where the post-exhaustion outweighed any degree of relief. At the time she was also bravely taking Chinese medicine (foul tasting brews I had to prepare! oh the smell!). So we 'knocked it on the head'.
A year later an NHS homeopath refered my daughter to a NHS accupuncturist. She had 6 sessions in total - no effect AT ALL!

Most people will experience some relief with accupuncture - but it is rarely sustained.
What cured my daughter was the Lightning Process.
