Hello @touchmenot, how are you feeling today?
Thank you for starting this discussion. If you're considering acupuncture for fibromyalgia, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional, ideally one who is familiar with complementary therapies and can help you make an informed decision based on your individual circumstances and medical history. Please also bear in mind that acupuncture should be regarded as a complementary therapy and should not be considered a replacement for prescribed medications and ongoing treatment recommended by your healthcare provider.
Having said that, let me tag a few members of our community to know if they have every tried it:

@Somya.P I've never even considered acupuncture for my fibro, mainly because I don't know where they would put the needles and my back is completely off limits to needles due to issues. Everywhere else I could probably handle them, but I'm not even considering acupuncture for any of my illnesses.

@HelloKitty I started taking kratom when I was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, it means I have constant pulling of my neck and shoulder muscles. Botox is the primary treatment , 6 to 8 shots targeting muscles but its hit and miss. I told a friend about this and he told me about kratom, so I went to a kratom shop and talked to the owner. He learned I was an Army Veteran and sold me some capsules. Unbelievable the kratom knocked out the pain and relieved some of the spasms and pulling that was 5 years ago, and I am still taking it for chronic pain. I have found the vendors to trust and a fbook website to share experiences with others. Like all things kratom must be handled with common sense, and reading info on the web helps educate us all. IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT HELPS WITH MY CHRONIC PAIN

Yes I agree. Im on morphine and Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen and yours as well. I have some others also. If I want to work in the back yard, I am sleep mode if I set down. The next morning and at night is paying with great pain. Its a hard road in many ways. We have to keep going best as we can. Have a smile and good day to you. I have the stimulator too.

Has anyone here tried acupuncture to treat their fibromyalgia? I was thinking of giving it a go, but wanted to hear some first hand experience and if it helped.
Thank you in advance
