Acupuncture

I've had three treatments of acupuncture now. I wished I'd have done this a lot sooner. I'd always wanted to, but didn't ever take the time to research more about it. At one point I called a place last year that I wanted to go to, but I could never get anyone on the phone and nobody ever returned my call. Hmmm...... I was complaining to James about how much I hurt several weeks ago and said I was at the point of just screaming and/or crying all the time because the pain is so intense. It causes me to not sleep at night and most of the days I walk around like a zombie because I never have enough sleep (2-3 hrs usually) and then I spend the days trying to keep awake during classes, homework, and my studies. Well James called this place again for me. Of course, when he calls, they respond right away and make me an appointment. I have been seeing Jen. She is amazing. I don't like her so much when she is sticking needles into the painful parts... wrists, between the fingers, palm, hand, forearm, arm, and feet, but I like her very much when I go home later that evening and am able to go to bed without pain. Today I had over 20 needles in just the right hand. I love you Jen, except today when you stuck a needle in my arm and turned it all black and blue, that hurt and it is still sore, but I'm sure I'll love you again tomorrow when I lay down to sleep and I wake up refreshed in the morning.
