Hello! My sister has advanced stage MS and we have been looking around for alternative treatments for her, as the medications (which are VERY expensive) do not really seem to be doing all that much anymore. How about acupuncture? What benefit from acupuncture can MS patients realistically expect? Responses are much appreciated.
I am sorry to hear that your sister's medications is not doing its job anymore, and unfortunately this is not al that uncommon in advanced stage MS patients. Acupuncture is a hit and miss situation really... It does a great job for some people, while others do not notice any change at all. Still, I do think that she should at least attempt this, if it appeals to her. You never know, it might just be the answer.
