I'm wondering much the same thing. I've got a first appointment on Monday for fibro, chronic pain, scoliosis, and migraines. Nice combo, eh? Not a needle person, but desperate for something beyond meds to help!

Hi, I've just had 5 weeks of accupuncture once a week. I'm also a needle hater. It's not so bad though, first session I could barely feel them so don't worry. If they do hurt they take them out cos you're not really meant to feel them. I thought it worked really well my first couple of sessions, but the last few didn't. Good luck.

I have had 1 1/2 sessions now and still don't know if it helped. I go back again on Tuesday. The needles are just a little sting when they go in and then you don't notice them. Most of the time I forget where they are.

My full list for going is a fun one too. Scoliosis, chronic shoulder pain(not related to scoliosis), PCOS, and thyroid. Aren't we all just a bundle of fun.

I get acupuncture
its really awesome and i always feel much better after.

I have been getting weekly treatments for nearly six months now. It definitely helps me with pain management but results vary depending on the practitioner. My therapist developed a special treatment for the extraordinary vessels tailored to my condition. She also uses moxa which I love! The moxa involves heating the needles which creates a very relaxing warming sensation.

I recently discovered neuromuscular massage and I highly recommend it!
