I finally decided to give Acupuncture a try even though I was very hesitant. Janet the Acupuncturist spent two hours with me the first visit talking over my history and symptoms. She did a treatment as well...I think maybe 10-12 needles. I left the office feeling extremely sleepy and calm. I went home and rested a couple hours. The following day I was in a full blown crash. I couldn't leave the bed...by the following morning I had recovered some.
My next appointment was the 24th of July. We talked a little more and then she did some weird testing using a pice of paper and did some type of median testing on my back...then a treatment. The same thing...I left feeling very tired and calm. Went home and rested...only this time I have not recovered.
I feel crashed but able to walk around and not much else. I am feeling very drained...exhausted and mentally in a fog. It is going on day 8 and I am basically incapacitated. My sleep is worse...my nerve pain is worse...I can hardly do anything. We were suppose to leave on vacation this Friday but it is most likely going to be canceled.
I contacted Janet and she didn't have much to say except to send me some links for some meditation recordings. I told her I thought the treatment was probably too aggressive and has crashed my adrenals. I haven't felt like this in years for this period of time.
I am very concerned and upset which I know doesn't help. I thought by going to Duke they would be good.
Anyone have any experiences with Acupuncture? I truly wish I never had done this...I am suffering .
