I finally got desperate enough that I've decided to try acupuncture to help with the pain and migraines. I had a headache for 6 days straight last week... not fun. Made the appointment during one of my delusional days, I think. :-) Anyway, I've met with the doctor for the initial meet & greet and really liked her and the staff. I'm hoping it helps. Insurance won't cover it (big surprise there), but at this point, I didn't really care.
I'd like to hear what others have thought about acupuncture. Help/not?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I don't think baking soda will stop one in progress. Try it. Cant hurt. Good luck.
I can already see a huge difference in my jaw. I tend to have my teeth ground together in a permanent bite (STRESS) and have TMJ to boot. The doctor (she's an MD) put two needles in the upper jaw bone area on each side (right in front of my ears) and it has helped tremendously!!!
My only complaint is that I went in for pain in my back and shoulder and she did mostly work on my abdomen (IBS) and a few on my legs and one on each of my hands. When I asked later, I was told it was an overall invigorating series and that next time she would be adding more needles. Other than the jaw, can't say that I notice a whole lot of difference yet. I'll keep you posted...
I'm noticing some relief from the neck problems. I'm seriously thinking this is helping. There's no doubt I'll keep going.
I hope it continues to help. :D
