Hi tearful1
I did try acupuncture and although it made me a bit more relaxed, it did not help - sorry! If you are suffering please do not be scared to try medication, whether it is hrt or ad's. They both have their place. I have to take insulin and bp Meds- I do not have a choice! Medicines are designed to help, not to make us feel worse or harm us. Please do not over focus on risks - life is too short
