Accupuncture

TheCatWoman

I had my first accupuncture session today and it was good, the needles didn't come flying out as they did when I had it before. I'm in less pain than I was before I went in, I did loads of heavy gardening yesterday and all the muscle aches and pains have gone and I feel a bit more awake and less brain foggy, although when he put a needle in my head it really hurt so he took it out and put it in another spot. I think it was because where he put it was on the edge of my crown chakra, we decided not to put one near my third eye chakra in case it went blind lol.

I've got another session next week so I'll see how it goes.

  • I had acupuncture for carpal tunnel syndrome on the NHS many years ago. It was very effective, but it only gave me temporary relief. In the end I was offered a steroid injection laced with some kind of lubricant, which solved the problem permanently. When I visited Romania in the late 1990s, their health service was experimenting with acupuncture as an alternative to local anaesthetics (mainly, I think, because they couldn't afford to import the relevant drugs -- those were the days when visitors to the country were advised to carry a sterile medical kit in case you needed minor surgery while you were there!).

    I had accupuncture on the NHS and didn't work at all, but they do a different sort of accupuncture to what I had yesterday. Maybe I will have to go once a month or something for a top up, I wouldn't mind that as I'm not going with the expectation of being cured, just being a bit better, more mobile and in less pain.
