I've tried acupunture for trigger thumb, without too much success, but at the same time I was being treated for that, the acupunturist (?) also treated me for hot flashes and stress. Now, it might of been because I'd taught a Spinning class at 5:45am on the days I had my appointments, but after the needles were in place (no pain there), I almost immediately went to sleep....and the hot flashes ceased for at least two to three months.

So, although the main issue was never resolved with the treatment..two other problems were, so I thought it was successful.
