Hi there -my introduction

Hi. I've been suffering with anxiety since I was a young child. It peeked around 20 years old and I've learned to manage it with a combo of meds and cognitive therapy. Even with all of these in place, it rears its ugly head in an aggressive way every now and then. I'm wondering if anyone has had any success with acupuncture.

No, no success at all. Very disappointing. I gave an acupuncturess the 5 appointments she said she would need to show improvement. No improvement. And it wasn't painless. She asked for 5 more appointments to show she could make a difference. Okay 5 more. No improvement. All done.
