Accupuncture
Just curious as to whether anyone here has had it done or has it done on a routine basis. How did it work for you? What is the upside? The downside? Tell me please a little bit about your experience.

When it was a consideration for a back issue, I found accuPRESSURE did the trick.

It was done in an medical office/apartment without a name on the door by a guy with broke English in China town. (you just have to ask around the right people)

Hey Lil,
I consider my acupuncturist my primary care provider these days. I have seen her for everything from hip pain (that's what got me there in the first place), tendonitis, allergies and sinus headaches, neck pain, and, most recently, a horrendous case of landsickness that dogged me after a 3-day cruise. I had been suffering mightily for 3 weeks before I finally broke down and went in. I was on the road to recovery before I left, and with a few more treatments, I was back to my old self. I highly recommend it, to everyone. I find it very relaxing, with a few treatment exceptions, and I often snooze on the table once the needles are in. My acupuncturist is versed in lots of Chinese medicine, so she's done other treatments as well. She gave me a tip on using krill oil for PMS symptoms, and it's helped immensely. Mr. Red is no longer afeared for his life once a month. I see my "real" doc when I need a scrip, and that's about it.
Upside is that it helps, my needle-fu practitioner actually LISTENS to me when I see her. (She even asks what kind of dreams I've been having lately!) I can usually see her within 2 days of my calling.
Downside, for me, is that she's not covered by my insurance. There are acupuncturists that are, I think, but I like mine, and so I gladly pay the $50 a visit out of pocket. She's helped me more than any other doc has over the years.
