Acupuncture Anyone?

I just made an appt for an initial consultation with an acupuncturist. I am excited and of course anxious. I have lower back pain, depression and GAD and apparently it can help with all of these things.

Anyone have any experience or insight? I heard it is supposed to be painless but I can't get past needles going in me being painless:)

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks.

Here's some info on alternative therapies, including accupuncture. We had a poster awhile back who described her experiences with it & they were positive. I tried the advanced search but can't find her post, Alison. HTH Maybe someone with first hand exp. will reply. Good luck! (((hugs))) jan

Thanks for the link. I guess if it can get a person through open heart surgery while awake, it could help me. :)
