Re: Acupunture and "sick energy"

Whew!
Last night I had one of my most relaxing sleeps yet!! Thank you ALL!! I had been having the tendency to wake up super early and having these issues enter my mind. Not good.
I feel a whole lot better!
I did NOT want chronic stress and worry. That is enough to lower one's immunity.

I am willing to go 110% to prevent another recurrance. Heck, I had stage I and theoretically had all the CA removed....but JUST in case of any microcircullating cells, I did the chemo. When she told me THAT story, my reaction was to jump on that too. JUST in case kind of thing.
BUTwithout knowing what it is I am consuming, who knows the countereffects it may have on my current meds, who knows if it will eventually shutdown my own natural immune system, and who knows what other side effects may occur.
Lunch break, got to get back to work.
Thanks everyone. Helps me a lot.
