Those who suffer from fibromyalgia know about the daily widespread pain, fatigue, foggy head, and often sleep problems that accompany it.

“My doctor keeps wanting to put me on more and more medications for my fibro but they don’t seem to be doing anything.”

“Can acupuncture help my fibromyalgia?”
