Default Acupuncture
I have been getting acupuncture for years and never had a problem like this. Are they needling the scar tissue? Maybe you should try seeing another acupuncturist. Also, taking some arnica orally afterwards should help. The idea should be small improvements over time, maybe they are trying to do too much at once. A good acupuncturist will discuss with you the goal of treatment.

I will pose all what has happened to her!
I think that I may go ahead with the next session BUT suggest if she can go in alittle less with the needles around the head region..... I wonder if thats possible?
Strangely I actually feel alot better today ( day 5-6 post procedure) no headache.
Many thanks for your input!!!!!

Make sure you share all of your 'new' symptoms, because they can adjust your treatment to that. My acupuncturist treats my scar tissue, then places needles in for relaxation and lets those sit for awhile. Even if my pain doesn't improve, the reduction in stress is what i find the most beneficial. I am glad you are feeling better.

I am sorry you've had an adverse reaction!
I've been getting acupuncture for 2 years now to control my tendonitis inflammation and I've had nothing but good results. I will say though that my practitioner works with a distal approach. She works on my left leg to treat my right arm, etc. Sometimes I will receive needles in my arms but ONLY if the areas aren't angry. She stays away from flare-ups as poke-zones :P
I hold out hope for you that you can find the right approach for your needs

Well, I've just returned home from having my 3rd session a couple of hours ago....... lets hope I react differently this time around? So long as a headache doesn't get triggered I will be happy. So far my body feels abit happier/relaxed almost immediately after the session which is much more promising than how it felt at last weeks session.

Thanks for your input!
Best wishes to you.

Well guys....2 days after my 3rd session and " touch wood" still no headaches and I must say I feel quite relaxed around my head/neck region.
I really do hope that its the acupuncture, if so I may have found a good source of pain/tension relief! However I've learn't not to get too excited too soon.
FINGERS CROSSED!!!!!!!!
