Has anyone tried or heard of using acupuncture to relieve the symptoms of CFS?

As you know doctors are unsure exactly what causes CFS, but each person is different in what triggered the CFS, saying that each person is different in their treatment and management of CFS.
I know of about 3 people who swear by acupuncture, mostly a way to relieve pain & headaches, one of them said they felt they had a little more energy. They also had to take herbal remedies while having acupuncture, adding to the cost. So its worth a try if you can afford it, keep in mind that it can take quite a few sessions to find some difference.
I have CFS & Fibromyalgia, and if I could afford to try acupuncture, and there was a decent acupuncturist locally I would try it.
Good luck

I say yes, acupuncture treats almost all non-infectious disorders. But i use many therapies at a time to get immediate cure.
Secondly without patient exam no opinion can be correct.

Accupuncture works for a lot of things, and it can help you get some energy back, but it is not a cure.
