After an early morning acupuncture appointment, I’ve learned a few things. The guy said all of my pulse points were ok, except for one. He found my endocrine system and particularly my bladder to be out of whack. I am not especially surprised by this since I’ve always had bladder problems. He put some needles in and worked on me for about an hour. When I went in, I was having a full blown episode of my mystery illness; nausea, dizziness, faintness, panic attack, the works. I was shocked that he got me from the verge of throwing up to feeling fine within about 15 minutes. We will see how it holds up tomorrow because I have to get up extra early and getting up early/not getting enough sleep seems to trigger these things. He recommended, more water, more sleep and to get off birth control pills. I don’t think I can realistically get off my pills, but I am probably due to reevaluate them since I’ve been on the same thing for 10 years. So, we’ll see how things go. It seems a little bit like quackery, but it seemed to have helped today and I’d rather avoid getting a prescription to fix my ailments. I’m just tired of being given a pill for everything. I think it’s making everything worse.
