Has anyone tried acupuncture for CIDP? Did it help?

I have it twice a month - hard to say if it helps - I like the idea of what it does and that makes me feel better. Coupled with meditation I feel its part of "calming my body" perhaps reducing relapses. Its not invasive and its an important part of my overall plan. Hope it works for you. J

I have it done about every 6 weeks, the burning and tinging in my feet has stopped,which would bother me the most when I was sleeping. So I am getting a more restful sleep,
