I went for a consulation with an acupuncture doctor today and ended up having it done. I'm not sure how I feel about it right now, lol. She said she wanted to diagnose, felt my pulse in both wrists, my ankles, and my stomach. Then said I have a very sluggish digestive system which is causing bloating in my abdomen and swelling in my joints and that my pulse tells her I am depressed or down. What? How did she get that? I do have digestive issues, I'm never regular and have been feeling down. She wants to treat the digestive issues because she thinks that's causing all the other (joint pain, mood, ext). The acupuncture didn't hurt, but wasn't comfortable either. I feel kind of emotional now, which I've felt after a deep tissue massage. She also gave me 2 different kinds of herbs to take and told me not to eat beef or fish, just chicken for a couple weeks. She wants me to come 4 times over the next week. It's $70 a time, it cost way more today then I thought it was going to be and I can't afford $70 a time! So I'm trying to decide if I want to have the acupuncture again. I will try the herbs for digestion (mostly because they were $70, why is everything $70? lol)
I guess the main thing I have taken away from this is that if you eat crap, your body is going to feel like crap and I need to let more things out or go or something so I'm not so stressed. I can't do everything and be everything, so I need to quit berating myself because I'm not perfect, no one is.
