After 5 years, an Integrative Medicine doctor recommended Acupuncture. I thought “Why Not?” Since we’re not doing anything else (I haven’t been able to get a SFN skin biopsy ordered me, or an MRI, so I understand your frustration). I had my first Acupuncture session last week. They told me we need 4 sessions to determine how it’s working for me. But I’ll say, I had some pleasant changes in feeling after my first visit, so I’m staying optimistic, as I head to my 2nd session today! (My insurance doesn’t cover, and I know we’ve all spent a lot of money on our illness, but I’m willing to try it for $60)

I did try acupuncture but it did not work. I put out several hundred dollars with no improvement.
