Has anyone tried acupuncture for severe fatigue? I do not have CFS but have an atypical type of fatigue following a 27 (I have good reason to believe) viral illness. The fatigue is very severe, I cannot do much more than lie on the sofa and watch TV, which I did for 10 weeks last summer. Over the fall I have been on stimulant medication and Wellbutrin, but meds that were working would stop abruptly. There is some medical literature about acupuncture being used for boosting the immune system, but I don't know the cause of my illness; my doctor thinks it's like a post-viral syndrome at this point.
Hey, I have used acupuncture before for adrenal fatigue. I have noticed a huge benefit and would highly recommend it but everyone has a different experience. I would just say make sure the acupuncturist is a qualified professional with experience. From what the doctor told me, acupuncture opens the channels that provide energy flow to your organs that can help to improve any conditions you might have where modern drugs can’t.
