Post-Shingles Neuralgia

[Guest guest]

Hi -- I'm new to the group and wondering if anyone has experience

with using accupuncture to treat postherpetic neuralgia, the very

painful nerve damage that sometimes comes on as the result of

(and at the end of) shingles. I'm also wondering what a

reasonable rate for a NCCAOM certified TCM/acupuncture specialist

should be. I started with one nearby (Twin Cities) who gets $145

for the initial evaluation (mostly filling out forms) and $105

per acupuncture session. That strikes me as a lot. Thanks,
