I hear great things about acupuncture (non MS related), curious if anyone has tried it and found any relief with symptoms. Thanks!

There are two types as well, some PTs are certified to do "dry needling" whereas you have to be licensed in order to do accupuncture. The needles are ultra thin, and do not hurt. The only problem is most insurances won't cover, so I used to go over to Canada for treatment. Good luck, I hope you find some relief.

Yes, very helpful with pain control, and muscle spasms. A urologist that I know also uses it for neurogenic and overactive bladder issues.

The only needle I have been able to tolerate has been for MS drugs.
