Acupuncture Update

I said in the beginning that I would blog about my treatment but then life kept happening and I wasn't able to update.

I barely remember having arthritis in my right hand.  It took awhile to get rid of it but now it is just fantastic.  I was not able to grab a load of wash from the machine to put it in the dryer without tremendous pain.  Now I have no paid whatsoever.

My left knee used to hurt going up and down stairs.  Every now and then I feel a slight tinge in my knee but nothing like pain.  I can do exercises on my knees now and I do stairs without any problems.  It is really great and I have a hard time believing it since my next step was to have an MRI done and most likely surgery.

I am still going every other week to acupuncture because I have some PMS symptoms that Cindy thinks she can help me with.  I go from being teary to angry and from having headaches to my jaws tightening up on me.

I am trying some herbs to help me with my feeling bloated.  It had been better in the beginning of acupuncture but then went back to the original problem.  The herbs at first helped me out a great deal and now I have gone back to being bloated again. It's like my body keeps adjusting back to being bloated no matter what I do.  The times when the bloated feelings subside are great.  I have gone down in weight to 139 lbs (not seen in several years) but I am back up to 144.  My goal is to get to 135 and maintain it.

Overall, I feel fantastic and not for being 50, for any age.
