Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 1,116 | I tried accupuncture for about 6 weeks, it costs $70 a treatment, insurance would not cover it. I think I wanted it to help so much that initially it did, maybe a little. But after a few weeks, I really didn't see the need to keep going. However, I think it is awesome that Doctors are trying to come up with ways to help our dry mouths...SMILE!!God Bless!!!
