Has anyone tried acupuncture? I have my first appt next week and I'm so excited. Hopefully it will help with my symptoms....if nothing else I've heard it helps with stress.

Hi missvicki, I went for acupuncture about 3 years ago because of cramp and pains in my legs and it worked, the pains dissappeared and has only left me with the memory of them which is great, as far as my MS is concerned it made little differance but just the pain going I thought was enough.. but hey it's worth a try go for it.

I tried acupuncture or electro-torture for about 6 months. My walking was usually rather worse afterwards and it did nothing for my pain or stress. It was nice hearing mandarin spoken though. _________________ 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
Well, I've had about 5 treatments now and it seems to be helping with leg pain, fatigue, and stress. I'll post in another month to let you know if we are progressing. Thanks.
