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

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.
