Acupuncture?!


Question:

Acupuncture?

I am due to have acupuncture for a problem I have had with my neck. I am on strong Solpadol tablets so wanted a natural remedy to help me and am booked in for acupuncture. But am a bit scared because last time I had acupuncture for something different I fainted (please note, I am not scared of needles at all - it was the chilled out feeling it gave me that made me dizzy and faint). Had anyone else had this? Is it a good ides to try it again?

Just wanted to confirm I am not paying for my acupuncture - it is on the NHS.


Answers:

Yes I have had acupuncture and it can give you a bit of a head rush sometimes (I quite like it). Tell the practitioner before you start so that he's aware of your possible reactions. And I would advise taking it easy for the rest of the day and not driving yourself home after.

But to answer your question, yes, I would give it another go before you write it off completely. Especially if you're not paying for it.
