I wish I could afford acupuncture. It helped me a lot with anxiety. Pretty much felt as if I'd taken enough Xanax to get the anxiety out of my system. It helped me with restless leg syndrome too, but then I discovered taking calcium & magnesium at bedtime stops RLS for me.

I'm right there with the cycle, stupid thing started 4 days early, as if I liked having a 24 day cycle. It took me years to stop having the 21 day cycle once my period startied again after breastfeeding (this is not an unhealthy stop, it just happens to some women while nursing).

I don't have PMDD. But I usually do end up with PMS and/or bad beginning cycle symptoms.

I hope the acupuncture keeps working fo you. I found it very relaxing
