So its been about 2 and a half months now that I've been going to acupuncture. I know actually going to the appointments has helped my anxiety by just being in a room with needles in me...I've had to learn how to calm myself down. We did a few tests and actually figured out I've had a bacteria in my stomach for the past 9 years (this is when I know some stomach symptoms started) and I have started taking medicine for that. My stomach is doing much better, but I still have this constant spacey-ness. We have a couple options for that...it could be just built up flem that gives me a cloudy mind, also last time I told her some more symptoms, and she said I could have fluid in my head, so we tried some new points and during the session I actually felt pressure relieve from my head!! So we are going to keep going with that. Its been awhile since I've updated you all, but I will try to keep these updates more regulary. Unfortunately I was hoping for more drastic results than what they have been (taking the herbal stuff for stomach and head) but I will just keep on being patient.
The other week while I was waiting in line to get tea, my anxiety jumped up as I was ordering, and a symptom happened that I haven't felt for awhile (the passing out one) It really irritated me that it came back, but I had to remind myself that the recovery process doesnt just continuely go up...it has its ups and downs, and you just have to accept that you didn't fail and to not give up.
I hope everyone is doing well!! Give me an update with all of you! I love to hear about that.
