I tried acupuncture over the course of a few months with a session a week but it did absolutely nothing for me. In fact I usually felt a bit worse immediately afterwards. _________________ 1st traceable symptoms Jan 01, last edss by doctor 6.5. Feeling better on ginkgo, salvia, capsaicin, curcumin, scutellaria. Interested in other vascular strengthening herbs; pycnogenol, butcher's broom, horsechestnut, centenella, hersperidin

Colleen,
Back in the late 90's my wife had accupuncture treatments to help with her problems of fatigue and weak legs. The important aspect here is for the therapist to be familiar with treating MS patients and the particular symptoms that they have. Performing accupuncture on a MS patient can result in more problems caused than those solved if the person doing the treatment doesn't really know MS very much.
Fortunately at the time, this therapist was able to help Marg and reduce her symptoms. She received the treatments for many months but it got rather expensive in the long run. She eventually went on the Prokarin transdermal patch treatment which helped her far better for 7 years.
