A couple of friends sing the praises of acupuncture for PMS, but I'm sceptical that it can help with my severe symptoms. Before I fork out £60 does anyone on here have any success stories about it?

Hi Alanna,

I'm afraid I've never tried acupuncture for PMS. Might be worth a go though. What else have you tried?

Hi there, thanks for your reply. I've tried contraceptive pills, supplements, a vegan diet, exercise, relaxation, and I've just started taking a very low dose (2mg) of Prozac a day, with the plan to increase this if necessary. I would love to find a 'natural' cure, but I'm starting to accept that this might not be possible!
