Default Accupuncture?

I'm scheduled to try accupuncture tomorrow. Now I'm having second thoughts MAJOR! My P.M. Dr. has someone in her clinic who now does accupuncture but my insurance will not pay for that. So, someone suggested that if I have accupuncture done it should be by a traditionally trained Chinese medicine Dr. and that's what I found.

My regular nerve block is scheduled for Thursday (Halloween). The P.M. Dr. who gives nerve blocks says we can do those as long as I want. I'm not sure that's good either, I'm going on number 16 during an 8 month time frame. I'm a zombie for nearly 24 hrs. following those. How perfect for Halloween - just add water and a costume!!

RSDRenee, I remember yours spread from accupuncture and that must be heartbreaking!
Any other input? Would I notice benefit right away? And should I get nerve block too?
I realize individual results vary greatly with this CR*P and it's not Dr. advice.
But opinions are most welcome!
