Well, this is my 100th post - woo-hoo!
Anyway I thought I'd use it to update what happened with my acupuncture yesterday. It was certainly different to the first time (I went to a new place). I had a needle between my eyes, which was weird, and several on my legs as well as one on each hand and a couple around the stomach area.
It might well be another day before I notice any difference although I do feel like I slept a bit better last night than previously. I've been looking into some Chinese Herbs as a treatment and have been recommended Jun Zi Tang as a good start point. Apparently my Qi is out of whack and I have a Phlegm obstruction causing some of my ailments as it were.
The good thing about all this is that unlike the first acupuncturist I went to the lady asked me about what the problem was, checked me out (including looking at the tongue which told her I don't sleep well) before suggesting a way forward.
I've been assured that the herbs won't clash with the other meds I take, but I'm thinking of double checking with my doctor before trying them.
Congrats on the 100th post! And man, you are braver than I. There's no way I'd let some stranger poke me with a bunch of needles! :)
