Feb 15, 2010 Major None Always Not at all
Mar 05, 2010 Major None Always Not at all
Advice/Tips Cost
Feb 15, 2010 Regular treatment, by competent experts results in complete eradication of pain. $50-99 monthly
Mar 05, 2010 Parasthesia stopped ENTIRELY after years of barbed wire and broken glass in my guts and sexual organs. I have never missed a monthly treatment. I stopped smoking around 1987, and have had the occasional relapse, but the parasthesia and fecal incontinence prompted me to quit again. Smoking is the main cause of acupuncture not working as well as it did the the days of the red emperor. $50-99 monthly

Dizziness Efficacy Side Effects Adherence Burden
Feb 13, 2009 None Severe Never Not at all
Advice/Tips Cost
Feb 13, 2009 I only tried this once and it had a bad effect on me. It was at the height of my dizziness and it made things worse. I was told that this particular accupuncurist did too much. (cupping, scraping, accupuncture) and it was more than my body could handle. I became much dizzier. I do still believe handled properly this could be effective for some... just haven't found the opportunity to go back. monthly
