Date: Mar 11, 2011
Advice & Tips: Acupuncture almost completely alleviated my symptoms during and immediately following treatment but the effects only lasted as long as a few hours to a whole day. The cost was burdensome for me as insurance did not cover it and it was difficult to get out of bed, showered and to the appointments. Unfortunately, the closest referral was 20 minutes drive and another was a 45 minute drive so adherence was not likely to begin with given my motion sickness while driving long distances and fatigue/exhaustion and lack of income while being sick. Many days I wished for an L.Ac. who did house calls.
Cost: $200+ monthly
