I am considering adding acupuncture to my remedies. I am curious if anyone has had relief in using this.

I LOVE ACCUPUNCTURE!!! I am so excited that Covid restrictions are easing so I can go back to it. I have tried every biologic I possibly could....Enbrel, Xeljanz, Stelara and a couple more with no relief. I am now on Rinvoq which is supposed to totally disable my immune system, yet I'm still in a ton of pain, have constant headaches and fevers and this stupid nausea never stops. Seems that my only relief from RA is from something that causes more pain.

I tried it early on after my diagnosis but did not find any relief. It also wasn’t covered by insurance so after paying out of pocket for a few months-I stopped. Works for some people-I think wenwould all try anything to find relief! Good luck to you!

I've just been recently diagnosed with ra but been going to acupuncture for over 3 years. I find that it helps me sleep better and alleviates my pain. You have to find a good one with experience.
