I tried acupuncture for about three months. I spent a lot of money and my acupuncturist gave me a lot of hope - but it all came out to nothing. She also had me on herbs and an exercise/diet plan and did moxibustion. Her office was filled with pictures of babies and photoalbums filled with thank-you cards and letters of appreciation... but it just didn't work for me.
Toward the end of my treatments, the process starting becoming painful. It felt like she was pushing in the needles extra deep and I would get strange twinges and little 'zaps' while lying there that hurt quite a bit. We had run out of money and the pain kind of pushed me to stop going.
However, I saw proof that her methods do work for some people and it is my belief that this is a good and viable method to try. Just don't waste your money by doing it for too long.
