Does anyone have any experience with acupuncture? I find I cannot tolerate sugar, salt or I have a reaction.

I did acupuncture regularly for neuropathy (my dad has PMR, which is why I follow this group). I also have an inflammatory arthritis.

I can’t really say for certain that it helped with my pain and I definitely wouldn’t use it as a replacement for treatment for an inflammatory condition like PMR, but I did always feel exponentially better and uplifted after a session. It was deeply relaxing and that on its own can help with pain over time. It really helped me relax my body and get the tension out, which can really build up with chronic pain.
