Acupuncture

So as some of you know I have been battling symptoms from a concussion as well as whiplash. It seems that my neck was in very bad shape. To begin with and the whiplash just brought that all out. I had so many knots in my shoulders and neck it was like a crate of oranges! Like many others I carry all my stress in that area of my body. As you know we live in very stressful times so that does not help my situation. Apparently some of these oranges I have been carrying around with me have been with me for over 10 years!! As of yesterday, my therapist had worked most of them out or down to a very small size. Those problems were causing me to have hellacious headaches. Last night was the first time in days I did not have a headache.

Today I am scheduled for my first acupuncture treatment for my neck. I am hoping this is the silver bullet I have been waiting for all these weeks. I have never had it before, but my alternative was shooting medicine into my neck with large needles. I am excited to try this treatment but also a little worried as well. I have heard good things about the process from many people so I am crossing my fingers.

I also seem to be having trouble with my eyes. I know that I have had dry eye for over four years now, but the concussion and trying to read things have made the problem worse. I am seeing a specialist for dry eye on Monday and that appointment I am truly excited about!

And finally - I have what one of my doctors called "Marching Testicles". Apparently my boys are pretty close to being made of glass. When they bang around too much they get inflamed and hurt. Epidemititis is what I think it is called. I have been taking antibiotics and steroids to get that back under control as well. Shit man when it rains it pours.

Sorry, this is not really very sexy - but it is currently my life and because it is my life - not much sexy is going on!!!

Cheers Mates!

So glad your knots are gone, sorry to hear about the twins - and good luck with the Accupuncture. I can vouch for it for stress for me many years ago. And fingers crossed for the eye doc too! Sounds like there’s less journey ahead of you than behind :)
 
Best of luck with every one of your treatments. As I get older more and more things break down and I can really empathize with you. Wishing you the BEST!
