Has anyone tried acupuncture? I am thinking about scheduling an appt soon but I’m a little nervous because I always feel like when I have to lay down my anxiety kicks in and I need to get up. I get figgity so I’m a little nervous. At this point, I’m so desperate for some form of relaxation I’m willing to try it. Just wanting to see if anyone else has tried it.

I have not...

...but I understand the 'trapped' feeling completely!

If you go for it, let your practioner know of your concerns, and see if they'll allow you to get up for a walk around break if need be.

Also, you may want to wear headphones with a relaxation app to help you get through the appointment.

Let us know how it goes if you do it!

Hi

Yes I have had a lot of acupuncture over the years and have found it to be really helpful and I would get more of it but it's to expensive as I'm currently not working so can't afford it but would definatley recommend it.

I've tried it. I loved it and did think it helped but like the above statement--it's expensive. I would
love to do it more but can't afford it.

I don't like to lay flat either so when I need to I ask for a pillow so my head is lifted off the flat surface. It helps me.
