Friday morning was my sixth acupuncture treatment. As usual, the stomach needles were in the same place with electric stimulation and a heat lamp. Again, she placed one needle on the inside of each ankle and one slightly to the inside of both thighs, just above the knees. This time she added one below each knee and put one inside each elbow. The one on top of my head was in the same place. She changed the herbs to Shao Fu Zhu Yu Wan and Dang Gui Wan. Hopefully, they will help get my cycle flowing.
This morning was my seventh acupuncture treatment. The stomach needles were in the same place with electric stimulation and a heat lamp. Again, she placed one needle on the inside of each ankle and one slightly to the inside of both thighs and one inside each elbow. However, this time she added two below each knee. The one on top of my head was in the same place, and she placed one inside the top of each ear. I drifted off early in the appointment, but a clatter in the next room woke me up. The lady in that room had fallen asleep and kicked the stimulation machine onto the floor. I fear doing that and having it pull the needles out of my stomach. Ouch! After finding out that the noise woke me, she told me that one time a male patient was deeply asleep and sat straight up when she came in to take out the needles. That is another ouch, as you are not supposed to sit up with needles in your stomach. He thought that he was at home and she was an intruder. Hopefully, I never fall that deeply asleep during a treatment.
