Evidence suggests acupuncture reduces the symptoms of fibromyalgia, according to a Mayo Clinic study.
Fibromyalgia is a disorder considered disabling by many, and is characterized by chronic, widespread musculoskeletal pain and symptoms such as fatigue, joint stiffness and sleep disturbance. No cure is known, and available treatments are only partially effective.
I like to call Fibromyalgia the "whiner's disease" for obvious reasons. Just kidding. I'm not quite that mean. But now I can recommend acupuncture to my friends and family who suffer from this whiny...I mean, crippling disease.
