RE: Struggle to sleep? Read how I conquered it
Thank you @jedau - I'll check that out
I try to remain open minded but I am not sure I could do acupuncture, I have a fear of needles :-/

Dude, I have a fear of needles myself (that's why I do the puncturing haha!) It's not embarrassing to admit that, knowing your fears is the first step to conquering them.
Lol, I would also have no problem doing the puncturing. When a family member gave birth she had to have injections into her stomach - I played doctor :-)
That's.. quite dangerous if you don't have training. You know that, right? Haha! I know I joke about puncturing, but I really did study this for a long time to get it right haha!
They were a prepackaged type of thing, like an epipen: one click and you're done
Ahh! I see. I think I've seen those, though it's not widely available here. My mother's a gynecologist, so I've served my fair share of birthing assists in the past haha
Acupressure points are a safe, and useful, alternative. My young daughter discovered some of her "calm spots" all by herself - I had to look them up to find out she was right!
That's another thing I discovered! I have lots of headaches with MS. If I apply pressure to the fleshy part between my thumb and forefinger, hard enough so it starts to hurt, it relieves the pain.
That's the spot!!
or one of them.
