Acupuncture!

Had my first acupuncture treatment today. All of my preconceived notions went totally out the window, in a good way!

The room was lovely and warm and there were ocean sounds playing softly. Instead of solemn silence (what I expected) she was chatty and we had what amounted to girl time. We talked about school and boys and The Future. That was very cool. Then she put seeds in my ears. Really! They're taped there now! That makes me chuckle.

I lay face-up on the bed and she made me comfy and then STABBY! NEEDLES! Honestly, though, the needles didn't hurt at all. It felt like a little pixie punch - not sharp, nothing to worry about. She combined the acupuncture and seeds with moxibustion (sort of like smudging but less smoke).

The entire process was relaxing and lovely. I was worried about it being painful or stresful. I wasn't expecting to get any sort of result my first time in but... Wow. I feel so relaxed. The tightness in my shoulder is gone. I feel so refreshed, honestly, like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. My "bad" endo spots feel not as bad - I went up the stairs without wincing! Seriously!

Okay, must go back to A&P studying. I have a test tomorrow over the digestive system.

Joy.
