I had a friend in MD that did this for a living .
I live far from her so never went .
I don’t drive & feel too sick 🤢 and wiped out from 7 chronic GI illnesses 12 years, deep grief over losing my husband suddenly 11 months ago , severe insomnia, chronic fatigue, heart palpitations. I know a lot about Chinese medicine.
My brother was a Dr of Acupuncture in NY .
Also a perfusionist in open-heart surgery for 30 years.
Unfortunately I don’t live by him either .
I was a pretty health very active person most of my life until some serious issues started .
I have gone the holistic route many x .
Now the family wants me to pay $6500/7 k to see a FM Dr that my x sis in law goes to for years .
I’m so unsure . I barely can eat so I know I can’t follow a special diet . I hate eating 🥣 .
I’m off antidepressants now because I’ve tried many and side effects are brutal .
If I could sleep 💤 & get more food in me first energy , I may be able to function.
I’m not convinced on Reiki . Maybe massage therapy more ?
I tried hypnosis 3 x and can’t be hypnotized 😵💫.
I’ll google SHEN . Tk you for your advice.
Please 🙏 pray for me . I’m trying but failing at everything now .

@rozy288 Do you have support near by? A close friend or family member? Is there a support group you could attend....not via the net but physical presence? Sleep is essential. I am 80 and from time to time I need prescription sleeping pills that give me 8 to 10 hrs sleep.
See your doctor for this. Once you no longer have anxiety about sleeping, you will feel better about facing your health issues. Another anti-anxiety substance you might try is pot. Legal in most states, you could try CBD oil, or CBD/CBN oil for sleep. I cannot take regular pot because the THC make me anxious, although many people just report the calming high. That is why companies create CBD oil and the CBN is the part of the plant that makes you drowsy. If you want to try the THC I recommend you have a good friend or family member with you. All for now...you will get through this!
