I have acupuncture once a month (more if I am sick) and it has been a terrific modality to treat colds, asthma, neck pain, joint pain and stomach issues. She even healed a bone in my foot that was not knitting together! I am so glad you tried this and I hope you have continued success with it.

A few years ago I suffered from a bout of dibilitating headaches, they were so bad i would pass out and I ended up in the hospital. We never found the reason for them and eventually they went away.
