Been toying with the idea of ordinary acupuncture for migraine for a while.
Not heard of electro acupuncture though, whats it to treat?  Be interested to see if it helps you.

supposed to loosen the muscles which are tensed. they put small crocodile clips on the needles and send a pulsating electric current through it. felt  nice while the current wasn't too high. told me it would take a few times to sort thee pain out but does not work for everyone. i feel a bit stiff now as she said i would for 24hrs after.  in your case ljay may be worth your while if nothing else has helped. if was me i would at least go and see how ot goes the first time. just hope it turns out ok for you and you get rid of that awful illness.

Richie.....   ask about a TENS machine....    it's the same principle, but doesn't require needles....     a bit like those "slimming without exercise" electro-muscular pad kits.... 

it vaguely helped me out a few years ago....    ( I broke my neck in '89,   so have ongoing spinal issues,....  to add to my fun )

Not a big fan of TENS. They simply exchange one pain for another in my opinion.

I tried acupuncture for a frozen shoulder a few years ago, to be honest did not really help so went for the injection which sorted it overnight.... :)
