2nd visit for Acupuncture-The Quest for Qi

Hi. I must admit that I went in a bit scared of what Dr Na was going to have to do to me. Now, I was very happy that she has literally taken my pain and distress down from an 8 to a 2 or 3. But I did too much this week and my arm was starting to hurt again yesterday but only in one place, not three. Anyway, she was glad I was feeling better but she checked me out and she is still pretty worried about me. She said my pulse is still very weak and my GI tract is a big source of concern. She said she would need to do a very strong whole body treatment (translation: needle in the philtrum). She said I felt bad after treatment (usually you feel amazing afterwards) last time because of the type of inflammation I have all through my body and because I couldn't relax during treatment. So today she got me all warm and cozy again and then about 20 minutes later came in to place the needles. She placed the first one in my arm and I was expecting the big rush of pain. It didn't happen. She continued to place them just like last time. The one in my leg (that was almost as bad as the one in my philtrum last time) had me worried and I was dreading it. She placed it and no pain. She got me all wired up and started the electric stimulation but this time on very, very lowest settings. That left the big one, getting ready for the dreaded philtrum. She told me right before she placed it that it is like being a heart patient, they must shock you back to life, it is worth it but hard. Now that did not make me relax, but she placed it and it did hurt, but not bad. Really, I almost screamed last time and this time, very little pain. I actually fell asleep with treatment. She put music on and put the lights out and turned on the big warming bulbs over me. She treated me for a long time. I was there from 5pm to 6:30. She decided to treat me once a month now and continue to work on getting me healthy and help me find balance in my life. I can't wait to see how I feel in about 12 hours. Last time I was about 80% better 12 hours later.
