Accupuncture Day 1

So after seeing so many doctors and them having zero answers or treatment for me other than medication and muscle relaxers I decide to take matters into my own hands. I set up my appointment with an acupuncturist. I didn't know what to expect but man am I glad I signed up. I was in there for about 1.5 hours if not longer and due to my extensive history with muscle pain and spasms I will be needing 5-6 sessions. Not a pretty penny once I am done but I have my eyes set on the end result. After my acupuncture treatment, Ms. Yen also performed "cupping". I remember doing this to my father when I was a child and did not realize this was still very common today. Both are working beautifully so far. I can actually feel the first layer of my muscles!! I am usually numb to any feeling (other than intense knots and spasms) but my "top" layers of muscles feel so...relaxed. It feels weird to be able to feel my muscles. Now, looking at my back, it does not look so good, but trust me, it does not hurt and it feels much better than when I went in. Ms. Yen has her work cut out for her though as I still need a lot of work done. Hopefully I can be restored to my young me (Junior High Years) because this started in High School...blah! Along with more sessions, she also gave me some herbal supplements. I will be taking 18 of those black little pills a day!
