As many
of you know, I am not one prone to using Western Medicine unless I absolutely
have to—and even then it takes me to feel like I am about to croak before going
to that. Now don’t get me wrong, there are many good things that come with
using Western Medicine. Unfortunately I haven’t made good experiences and I am
weary using anything, especially after watching commercials filled with smiling
and dancing people, while in the background the narrator informs you of side
effects including suicidal thoughts, bleeding organs, and the occasional side
effect of spontaneous combustion.
A week ago,
I decided that I need to find a natural way to take care of my hypoglycemia and
I wasn’t about to try the newest latest pill that may or may not work for me
while giving me a side effect of growing a second head. Looking online, I went
to my favorite website ever, “Groupon.” (If any of you reading this have not
tried Groupon, I want you to know that you are missing out on life. Groupon is
a magical place of discount services where you can frolic through expensive
places, pretending to be rich, before handing the receptionist your coupon of a 5 million dollar discount. Okay maybe it’s not that extreme of a discount, but
I have saved a *gabillion dollars using this website that makes dreams come
true.) I found an ad for an acupuncturist that was doing 6 sessions for only
$68 dollars and although becoming a living voodoo doll is not appealing to me
whatsoever, I hear amazing things about the benefits from being stabbed with
needles.
My
first session I was nerve racked and by nerve racked I mean I was in full-fledged
panic mode. I am not kidding either. I have a death fear of needles so after
nervously ranting for ten minutes to the acupuncturist and feeling like my
heart was going to explode from my chest, I finally was able to calm down
enough to get out of the fetal position and allow the stabbing to commence. After
the first needle went in, I realized that I had pretty much freaked out for a
mere tiny pinch and I felt silly for even going into this fright. On the other
hand, it’s mother freaking needles and those little shits are scary.
Once the acupuncturist was done
making me his pin cushion, he turned off the lights and left me with the words,
“Just relax.” At that point I looked like I was reverse planking, with every
muscle in my body stiff as a board. How anyone can relax with a zillion needles
in their flesh is beyond me but I kept reminding myself that I was doing this
for my health.
I admit, I didn’t feel any
difference after my first session, so when I came back for my second session, I
let the professional needle stabber know that I didn’t think it worked. A few
days after my second session, I realized that I noticed not only was I sleeping
through the night without a problem, but my blood sugar was starting to stabilize.
I just finished my third session today and I admit, I am pretty excited to see
my health on the “up and up.” To anyone out there that is thinking about
getting this done, you should give it a try—and by a try I mean a few tries.
*definition of Gabillion- pretty much a made up word that
means a hell ton
