WOW - thank you ever so much for your detailed description of your experience with acupuncture. I really appreciate it and I'm so happy to hear that you found it so POSITIVE. I'm going to try it.

Thanks also for your offer to refer me to your acupuncturist ... I don"t live in the DC area but thanks anyway.

Also, with all you told me about having gone through acupuncture I don't think I need any articles to confirm that! So I don't want to bother you with doing a search for articles about it. Thanks for offering that also.

I do have a couple of questions for you:

How many acupuncture treatments did you have?

What was it like, meaning did the acupuncturist tap the needles in and that was that, then you laid on the table for however long it was OR did the acupuncturist tap in the needles and then keep tapping each one until you could *feel* it a bit?

I ask the second question because I did go to an acupuncturist once (so far) recently and he did it the second way - where he tapped till I could feel it.

I never heard of this - I've been under the impression that acupuncture is done very lightly and that you're NOT supposed to feel it. I asked him about this and he told me he practices TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and that this is the better way of doing it. In light of this, I'm curious to hear what your acupuncture was like (and how many you had).

THANKS A MILLION!
-Janelle
