I agree acupressure is every bit as marvellous as acupuncture; and no needles.

I had acupuncture for my shoulder years ago and have had very little trouble with it since; used to have debilitating muscle pain, so bad when it went into spasm I could not move my neck or even get out of bed without a lot of effort...anyone who knows me knows I am pretty healthy and most find it hard to believe I used to have a somewhat chronic pain condition; thank you Chinese medicine!

Gargoyle, you are an idiot and, I suspect, a liar.

One does not "catch" fibromyalgia" and there has NEVER been a documented case of AIDS infection from an acupuncture needle. No acupunturist worth their salt would ever reuse a needle in any case...no need to, they're cheap.
