Re: TCM Acupuncture HELPS!!!

Well Julie and lizbeth,

I indulged in 4 pairs of shoes, 4 new pretty bras from VS along with 10 pretty panties, and to finish it off I bought myself some new capri jeans and a few shirts!!! And for the first time I got 2 colors of highlights put in my hair which I have not been able to do for 1 year and 8 months!!

Lizbeth, Accu every week????? Geez, it is 65 bucks a trip maybe I can ask him to buy 2 get 1 free. He has some machine that he is going to put on the needles today to stimulate my neck/shoulder electrically. Have you done that??? My neck today is maybe 10% improved, and I want it to be ALOT more improved. I wonder how many more appts???
