Acupuncture made my flares MUCH worse - I tried to stick it out for a month but there was no way I could bear that. Others have had good luck with it - but then again, there was a recent survey study that found acupuncture results weren't consistent enough to support its use as a recommended treatment for fibromyalgia. So ... everything about fibro treatment options, in my book, ought to be flagged with the caveat "your mileage may vary wildly"!
