Acupuncture has really helped

I have rls and peripheral neuropathy, which means awful sleep and waking constantly with restless legs and hands swollen and tingly.

2 days ago I had acupuncture with a knowledgeable Chinese lady. I’ve had two great nights sleep and my fingers felt normal in the morning. She put needles in my neck, back of arms, wrists, outer thighs and back of knees. And did acupressure down my back and deeply in my thighs.

I’m over the moon and hoping it lasts!

This sounds very encouraging - it makes a world of difference whether you get an acupuncturist who knows what they're doing or somebody who just thinks they know.

I am so happy for you! A good night sleep without drugs is something most of us can only imagine. Please keep us posted on how long it lasts.
