I am on my seventh week of accunpucture the lady I see only does womens issues, I am going for pain and anxiety, the first week I went I was exhausted from the pain I had been in, when she put the last needle in me which is in the ear, I almost passed out on the bed, that needle is for the for adrenaline, this was not placebo as a it had no idea, also after the first five weeks of treatment I would yawn for thirty minutes almost continually, again this is all to do with adrenaline.
Also I have a arthritic big toe that I have not been able to bend for ten years, after week three of treatment I could feel my joints felt lighter, I thought nothing of it, the next evening I could bend my big toe and can still do so, again this was not even on my radar as a problem as I have far bigger problems than my big toe.
I do think it helps with pain, it relaxes me which in turn helps my anxiety, I did not yawn last week so wonder if I have got as much as I am going to get from it, I have two more weeks left I definately feel by Tuesday I want Thursday to come round quickly.
I start reflexology in a week, give that a go next.
