Acupuncture-TAKE 3! Okay, so I don't want to brag but guess who went to acupuncture and didn't knock out any needles? ME! Every single needle stayed in tact! YESIREE! I was so proud of myself! I have to admit, I wasn't so sure about acupuncture in the beginning but I am starting to REALLY believe in it. I have noticed over the last week I have been starting to feel more positive. I have had a low day here and there but for the most part I feel like a completely different person than I did 3 and 4 weeks ago. I tried listening to a meditation sound track while relaxing at the acupuncture office today, it helped a little bit but relaxing is still hard for me. I am also trying to do little things to pamper or treat myself, I would love to get a massage this weekend, maybe a pedicure next weekend and oh boy would I love my eye brows waxed! We leave for a weekend trip to Chicago next weekend where I will see my good friend from college and spend the weekend with my wonderful husband. Spending time with my hubby, that's pampering myself, love that man. Anyway, here's a pic of the needles in my belly and my feet!
Another reason I could be feeling a little less like the spawn of Satan or Regan from the exorcist as my husband likes to call me from time to time may also be due to the vitamins I have been taking lately. My doctor recently posted on his blog that he recommends taking the following before treatment:
antioxidants ( I drink two tablespoons of a juice concentrate every day)
fish oil (2 times a day)
Vitamin B complex
Calcium
Prenatal vitamins with folic acid
Baby Asprin-I opted to take this after checking with my nurse as I researched and found benefits to it
Here's what that looks like:
Oh...AND!!!!! I got some valentine's treats today...
Okay so maybe it's not your typical foil wrapped chocolate but I feel pretty darn excited about this package of meds and needles! Expecting another box of big girl meds next week! I figure I may as well love it now since I most likely won't be in a week! Very excited to get started!
