accupuncture

My oncologist recommended that I try acupuncture to help with nausea and headaches. I figured it was worth a shot. The insurance company said they would cover it, so I scheduled an appointment. I am pretty skeptical about this kind of stuff. The lady who did was very nice, and obviously a free-spirited sort. She explained the process to me and then said the first step was to use the gold plated needles on specific locations of my body to bring back my chi. I had to bite my tongue a bit at that point. I don't know what this chi stuff is. I am pretty sure I didn't have any chi before, so I don't know where she planning on getting it to bring it back. Anyway it took about a hour, she would put needles in various parts of body (back, ears, feet, wrists, legs). And then she would let me lay there while my chi came back. I honestly didn't feel any different when it was all done, but I did get a good nap while she made be lay there. So I don't know if I will go back, it seems like black magic to me. And if it worked I would be okay with that, but I don't think it did anything. She did show me where the pressure points are are my wrists to prevent nausea, so that may come in handy (if it works). Take care. -Eric
