Re: Acupunture for endo pain

Linda, I saw an acupunturist weekly for about 8 months for my endo pain. When I first started going I was in really rough shape. After several weeks of treatment the intensity and frequency of my pain decreased. I tell everyone that it can be a great pain management tool, but does not cure the endo. I would be very happy to explain how the appointments went, how the acupuncture works, etc. if you would like to e-mail me. Alyson
