I had my first acupuncture appointment yesterday - it went pretty well. She is very nice and took the time to listen to me and what I want to get out of this whole process. We talked for about an hour about everything and then we did a treatment. I have 7 needles stuck in me - one in my chest - two in my stomach - two in my legs and two in my feet - they did not hurt at all - she left me to lay there and relax with some nice music and that would of been fine for a couple of mins - I would say 15 or 20 mins - but no she left me there for an hour - which was way to long for me to lay still and relax - I hope in time I can learn to relax more with the treatments but all I wanted to do after about 20 mins was get up and get out of there.
I do not feel any different in fact I feel worse today - my friend says it is my toxins leaving my body - she did tell me to drink more water which is what I am going to try to do and she also said I need to eat something right when I wake up and that may help settle my stomach for the day - I will try that too. I am willing to try anything to feel better.
In other news my ears have been clogged and I could not get an appointment with my regular ENT doctor so I went to a different doctor yesterday and he looked at my tongue and said it was not thrush that it was geographic tongue and nothing to worry about - which is also what my dentist said - so now I do not know what to believe.
I did ask the acupunctist and she said that she does not think my tongue is a problem - she said as long as it does not bother me I should not worry about it - she said she has seen way worse tongues.

I've always wanted to try acupuncture, but haven't yet. I hope it gets better for you.
Have a great weekend!
i can't imagine your frustration at having so many doctors with conflicting opinions, hope you are able to relax at your next session, I would imagine it gets easier as you get more used to it! GL
