I go for acupuncture once a month, and have since my first and only episode a couple of years ago. I feel that it just keeps me even, and seems to constrain feelings of symptoms to some extent. My acupunturist says his experience with MS patients is that it does help keep them even (balanced, regular energy, etc.) and it seems to soften relapses. He does not have a sense of whether it affects actual progression.
