On Saturday I had my second appointment with Alison. This time the needles went in my lower legs again from just under the knee on my shin to the top of my feet just under where the toes start, plus 3 or 4 needles around my tummy button. The needles nearest my toes hurt this time and I could definitely feel the ones in my legs too though the tummy ones didn't hurt at all. I didn't think to ask Alison as it was the same points as the previous time and I assumed this means that that needles are doing what they should be. I think I will ask her next time, particularly if it happens again.
She also did some cranial work under my neck, and lots of mouthwork not with the needles but she put her fingers in my inside cheekbones, the roof and floor of my mouth and on my teeth. This was to unlock the communication that is lacking in my system since the period of intense stress that caused this. I didn't feel relaxed afterwards this time, not anything like as groggy and relaxed as I was on the first appointment, I just felt pretty much as I had when I walked in, so not sure what to make of that really.
Both of these appointments were early mornings, I'm switching to weekday evenings for the rest of my appointments that I have booked so it will be interesting to see if this makes a difference at all.
I'm also planning to go back to my GP to have tests done to see if the acupuncture and/or DHEA has had any impact on my FSH and other hormone levels. Plus I'm going to keep an eye on my blood pressure too as she had said that it should be lowered after treatment. I'll try not to get my hopes up too high yet though as it's easy to get excited and then be let down. Fingers crossed!
