Have you been to see your PCP about this issue? I know too meds can cause that feeling of lightedness, but you want to be sure nothing else is going on. Sorry about the pain in your neck and back. I get neck pain a lot from an old whip lash injury, and have been there with back pain in the past, so bad it made me cry a lot of the time. Is there another acupuncture place you can call? I know I've had acupuncture in the past, not for pain though but anxiety. I wish I could still afford it, it was better than taking a benzo for a panic attack at relieving my anxiety. Could massage work as well or is the pain too bad for that? I've also done massage for anxiety, tight muscles...that worked well until I had that sexual assault happen at the massage place (and it wasn't a shady type place or anything, located in front of a Target, near businesses like Panera Bread, etc.). Now I don't think I can ever do massage again
