Sorry I am a day late: I had a late doctor's appointment and was too exhausted afterwards to blog! Forgive me!
I have severe endometriosis and on Friday the pain started - so badly that I broke out into a hot sweat, curled up into the fetal position, was nauseous while I rocked. I went to see a specialist yesterday who actually recommended I try acupuncture for the pain instead of taking pain pills. At first I was skeptical because my Dad had had it several times for horrific back pain and it didn't work - not to mention it is expensive! However, the pain has been so awful that I have been having episodes up to six times a day and about two a night. My body is physically exhausted from feeling like I am in a "war zone" all day. My husband has had to drive me to and from school because I'm so worried I'll have an attack while driving. After seeing the specialist I decided to go ahead and make an appointment with the acupuncturist for later that night. I thought, "What do I have to lose? I'm in so much pain that I'm pretty much willing to try anything!" It took almost two hours by the time we were finished. I couldn't feel the needles and the stress just seemed to leave my body. If it didn't work then at least I was practicing my deep breathing tactics mixed with calming music for a little bit! But, keep your fingers crossed...I didn't have any pain and slept through the night! I'm really hoping this will work and help me to manage my pain.
