Acupuncture

I have an appointment tomorrow, and I'm just wondering what to expect. If anyone can offer any insight I would greatly appreciate it.

When I started school for health sciences i had really bad posture and as i started to correct the problem, I had a lot of back and hip problems. Acupuncture relieved the pain in my hip that nothing else seemed to help, so it made a believer out of me.

I've been going through acupuncture for allergy related things... the doctor wanted me to take a pile of antihistamines and I didn't want to do that... so, acupuncture seemed to work for me... it's been working for my son and daughter too... It really helps their moods... also, I had a terribly stiff neck a couple of weeks ago... could hardly lift my arm... had the treatment in the evening, the next day it was like new... t -------------- Tim I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self. - Aristotle You have the power to change a life right in your own hands. - Paul Brandt

I was getting a rash of sorts.. very itchy... the doc suggested the pills.. tried 'em.. didn't work... so, we tried acupuncture... we did find out I have slight allergies to peanuts (I can still eat them), wheat, cats, and a bad reaction to red food dye... It always seemed I'd get these rashes and have tried the acupuncture and things seemed to have turned around somewhat... I still avoid the red food dye... I also had a problem with really achey knees... not sure what it is or why it is, but the docs couldn't find anything either... the needles seemed to have helped.. t -------------- Tim I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self. - Aristotle You have the power to change a life right in your own hands. - Paul Brandt

He did tell me that I have a blood deficiency and he's supposed to proscribe some chinese herbs to help with it. So far so good!
