I had decided to go and get some acupuncture for my morning (well, 24/7) sickness, but then realised how much it cost....

So before I spend vast amounts of money, has anyone had any relief from acupuncture for nausea and vomiting?

I've never had acupunture before.

I had accupuncture years ago for a wrist injury which did nothing. However I decided to try it again when I had ms and I do think that it does help. Although my nausea didn't stop completely, the vomitting pretty much stopped, only happening occasionally. I am going about once every 4wks and will keep going until baby is born. Now that the ms is gone she is helping with other things. It does cost a bit but I try to ignore that part

ETA: the nausea did go eventually though

My MW suggested this to me as well as she knew someone who could do it very cheaply. However when I spoke to that person she said she gets mixed results.Some find instant relief, some don't. Also it varies as to how long it lasts. She said most of the people who see her are back every few days for more.
