Acupuncture

It's been a week since my most recent acupuncture appointment and I'm feeling great. Since 2005 I have been having problems with my sinuses - infections and all that good stuff. After seeing two ENTs and my PCP several times and a couple of Urgent Care Clinic visits I decided to try acupuncture. The MDs didn't offer any treatment suggestions outside of allergy medication (which I already take), antibiotics, and surgery, none of which seems like viable options. A friend recommended an acupuncturist about an hour away and so I set up an appointment.

My first appointment was about a year and a half ago and I go every 2 months or so. I can't tell you how much better I feel. I've switched to an acupuncturist closer to home who I really like and whose treatments are more effective for me. Initially I was combining Traditional Chinese Medicine with acupuncture but now I'm managing my sinus issues with just acupuncture alone. I've really taken note of how much better I feel since my most recent treatment and I think it just makes good sense for me to have a treatment every 6 weeks or so. In addition, during my last appointment I mentioned to my acupuncturist that I was having a lot of pain in one of my leg muscles. She treated that area as well and the pain has decreased remarkably. It is not perfect but much, much better than before the treatment. I can't recommend acupuncture enough.

I'm suffering from an Olympic hang-over tonight, meaning I stayed up too late last night watching the Games. Not late enough to see the incredible win by the men's swimming relay team but too late nonetheless. Oooo, I think basketball might be on TV now - got to run!
