Members shared mixed experiences with acupuncture for fibromyalgia, with most reporting it did not significantly reduce their pain, though several emphasized it was worth trying since it caused no harm and offered other benefits like stress relief and improved energy flow. A few members found success with alternative therapies like Reiki, describing it as helpful for managing unbearable pain, while others expressed frustration over cost, lack of nearby providers, and dismissive attitudes from some practitioners. A recurring theme was the importance of experimenting with different approaches without judgment, as what works varies greatly from person to person.

@A MyFibroTeam Member...I tried acupuncture for about 2 months (got a discount through Groupon). I don't think that it did anything for my fibro...but it certainly helped my stress levels. Like @A MyFibroTeam Member mentioned I also use Reiki when the pain is unbearable and it helps a lot...I am lucky in this regard because I'm a Reiki Master and can treat myself. Like @A MyFibroTeam Member said...it won't hurt so give it a shot and see if it helps.
Light and Hugs,

I have used it for many years. It helps me by opening up blocked energy which in turn helps me to process stress much better. I've never really looked at it as a direct pain reliever but more as a life enhancer like meditation. I love it.
