I've been dealing with brain fog, confusion, problems w/ speech, poor short term memory, and dizziness since I got sick last march. I was seeing an acupuncturist for a few months. After about 5 or 6 sessions, I wasn't really seeing good results.

Today, I saw a new acupuncturist and I'm pleased.

I told her my problems at the beginning of the session and she felt my pulse on each wrist. She said that my energy was weaker on the right than on the left.

She gave me some needles around the head and in between my eyes, crook of my arm, one between the index finger and thumb, one at each shin, one in each ankle. She also placed at 3 points above my belly button.

About 5 minutes after the needles had been placed, I started crying. This was awkward because I wanted to let loose and wail but the acupuncturist's assistant was waving what appeared to be a hot piece of coal over the needles and I did not want to make her nervous (moxibustion therapy??).

Anyhow, I left the app't with less confusion and dizziness and I'm going to keep up with my sessions over the next 6 months. I have faith in this acupuncturist.

I wonder if one session per week will be enough to fully heal my brain within 6 months...
