29th December 2006 - Ying and Yang

I am having acupuncture treatment now as well as Thai massage, my body doesn't know what's hit it!

I went in and laid on a couch and the lady Doctor asked me how I felt. "Well I have Tinnitus in my left ear and a chronic pain in my right knee, but apart from that I am OK, Digestion Ok and regular bowel movements every morning. Oh and I have a pain in my groin, since you ask (where did that come from?)"

"I am going to treat your tinnitus and your knee and also give you some general treatment to 'correct the im-balance in your Ying and Yang'". So I laid back and tried to relax whilst she put the needles in, I hardly felt a thing. There were 15 needles altogether and afterwards she left me to 'meditate' for half an hour during which time I had some strange sensations in my ears and wrists but no pain and used the time to concentrate on the air going in and out of my nose and to think about where my Ying and Yang were and why nobody had told me they weren't balanced.
Sue came in half way through to look at me and take some photographs, she said I looked like the character 'Pinhead' in the Horror movies. Afterwards the doctor told me not to go swimming as I might sink and to come back twice a week for further treatment. No real change in how I felt afterwards although Sue did say my Ying definitely looked smaller.
