Acupuncture?

[lolly3110]

Anyone had acupuncture wondered if it would help with rls I experience it as ifcreepy crawlers are under my skin so would be particularly interested if people with same symptoms have experience

[Joolsg]

Don’t waste your money. I tried it years ago and it did nothing except cost me £££££. Sorry

Don’t be sorry I asked for peoples experiences and you shared yours thank you

I second this as I did it for 2 years just before finding out that I had RLS. Cost me 1000S would of been better off with a nice massage. Good job to have tho £45 for 50mins work and most of that is them sitting on there ass. It's a good scam as they cant even tell you how many sessions you will need. So you get to a year and think I might as well keep going now as it would be a waste to stop now.

Hi lolly,

If you type "acupuncture" in the search box quite a number of old postings on the subject will appear which may be of interest to you.

[lolly3110 in reply to Kaarina]

I’d already read them before asking thanks though

Hi Lolly, I tried it years ago. It didn’t help.

I have had acupuncture regularly for many years. Off and on she tries a new approach to the RLS, so far none have been successful for more than maybe a night of two or just that moment while I am trying to lay still. Sorry. Wish I had better news

I have had a lot of acupuncture for other things, but the practitioner said she didn't think it would help RLS, so we never tried.

[lolly3110]

Thank you everyone

I've had it for nerve pain in my feet. Didn't help me either.

[Wilwell]

Sorry to join the chorus Lolly ,but I had several treatments from three different

Acupuncturists and none of them helped with my case of RLS

[lolly3110]

Thankyou all and no need to apologise it’s just good to hear people’s experiences thanks

I also had 3 sessions with no success. I also have a friend who practices Hypnotherapy and was convinced he could help me, but this also proved to be a complete waste of time. The only thing that seems to have helped me a bit, is reaching the menopause!!

[lolly3110 in reply to Hallie1962]

I’ll give it another 10 years then haha

Hi, yes. I have been having acupuncture for my rls for a month and a half now. I think I have been about 6 times. The pattern has definitely changed. But acupuncture takes time and I cannot tell if it has worked yet. The acupuncturist I am seeing has been able to cure the symptoms on rls patients. So, I believe I am going to continue going to him for a bit.

The research my dad found had positive results and he said it would be important to get the right acupuncturist, it’s the kind of thing that I thought couldn’t hurt to try. Thanks for a different view

Hi Lolly I’ve had treatment for weeks with an English acupuncturist and months with a Chinese acupuncturist and no improvement whatsoever!!!
