Yesterday, I wet to my acupuncturist, who can’t treat my cancer or he’ll lose his license. However, he could deal with my fatigue and nausea, which he thinks is being caused by a small ulcer. For the first time in weeks, I was able to have a 2.5 mph walk without feeling crappy after and help with kitchen chores after dinner.
My body responds to acupuncture. Unfortunately, Kaiser only allows it for chronic pain, so I have to pay out of pocket. I couldn’t understand why I was feeling crappy, if I was supposedly “asymptomatic.” That and not being diagnosed at Stage 0, even though I had my physical last year, had me reliving the nightmare I lived through nine years of not being diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism. I feel much calmer now, though not happy about this new expense at tax paying time, and just here to document what is calming me down and helping me to get back to my regular routines. I know acupuncture doesn’t work for everyone, but find what does work for you and go for it! I’m at Stage 1 today but I’m hopeful now.
