I had acupuncture and yes it did help for about a year and then I had to be referred to a pain specialist who tried two or three different medications and then a different type of acupuncture which just made me ill. When I saw him a few weeks ago all he seemed to be interested in saying is that because I have mental health problems I was causing the pain myself because I'm depressed, I know that if you're depressed you can make your pain feel worse (unconsciously so) but when your pain is worse you feel more depressed but why does my mental health always get blamed for any pain I get. I'm fed up of Dr's not understanding my pain is real NOT in my head.

Have been having acupuncture for 20 years, works for me. Cupping seems especially helpful for my neck and shoulder pain.

I haven't tried acupuncture but I have recently had a course of hypnotherapy, which has been brilliant. I feel much more relaxed and I really do think the stress side of things makes the fibro worse. I am also sleeping better for it.
For pain I tend to take Homeopathic ARR 200 (arnica, Ruta, and rhus tox) which has no side effects and is pretty good.

Did it 2x a week for 18 months- cost a fortune & no results

Did acupuncture for 6 mo regardless of how much pain it caused me because I thought eventually it would help. I was wrong, I put myself through so much pain for nothing.
