Experiences with acupuncture/shiatsu
Since everything to do with acupuncture in the memories seems to be a few years old, I thought I'd bring it up.
Recently my fatigue, brain fog and pain have gotten to the point where I'm willing to dig into my limited funds and try a combination of acupuncture and shiatsu massage.
My first session was just under two weeks ago and I didn't feel any different (but then, there was SO much wrong with me that I knew once wasn't going to cut it.)
I had another session last night and my shoulder is killing me from the shiatsu (but it was a problem area to begin with and I'm told it could get worse before it gets better). And when she inserted the needles I felt...different in a good way, though I can't really articulate how (thank you brain fog!)to the point where I was lying on the table and smiling. Maybe it's just the shoulder pain but all I want to do right now is lie down.
Anyone else tried it for anything fibro-related? Did it help? How long did it take to see a difference?
Thank you in advance for any and all advice.
