Title: Acupuncture

Hello,   I am wondering if anyone has had any luck with Acupuncture for Dry Mouth or Inflamation. Any thoughts ?

I've used acupuncture for other conditions with great success. Haven't tried it for the Sjogren's but would love to know if others have had good results with it as well.

I'm currently having acupuncture.  They are treating me for 'heat' rather than Sjogrens.  I've had six sessions and am having a break for a couple of weeks then probably going back.  Acupuncture is cumulative so you won't notice a difference immediately and the changes might be really subtle.  Also if you are on medication you don't know how much of the help you're getting is due to that. You spend a long time going through all your symptoms, then every week any changes are written down to see if it's having an effect.  It works for some and I think you should give it a try :)
