So I went to the acupuncturist for the first time in my life. I was there for three hours. The craziest thing happened.

i got what seemed like 40 needles in my back, neck, shoulders, base of my head, and right arm for like 30 min while i was face down.
Then i had some needle-work done while sitting up.

I was really feeling it, i like it. it felt very effective. Then I fainted.

Wow. That seems unusual.

I laid there covered in sweat while he kept putting cold compressed on me and doing trigger point stuff for faintiness.

so like, 30 min later I got up, feeling better, went to check out and make follow up appt- then I fainted again.

he kept me in for 45 min after that.

@super- yea, weird huh?

well, i'm in a ton of pain. like, it's some amazing upper back and arm pain, and the needles were really making my muscles angry.

and also- when he asked me what i had eaten today, i had to be honest and say "nothing"

i totally forgot.
it's been a crazy day, and my arm and back and knee have been really distracting. i haven't even felt hungry

What happens if you faint on a needle? O_o

Acupuncture is the only thing that works for a lot of various conditions for me. I haven't ever fainted though! My acupuncturist is also one of the nicest people I've ever met.

Is this the first time you've ever fainted?

little p said, (89 days ago)

@emily- actually, embarrassingly no. I am a random fainter. i think it happens 2/3 times a year- but it has been increasing.
so, i was all like, "please don't get upset guys. this happens every now and then for no reason."

i fainted at my friends house last year while we were talking on her staircase- i fell all the way down the stairs and landed with my head on the wooden floor.
I was in the emergency room all night.

it's like, my blood pressure drops down to zero for no reason.

but maybe regular acupuncture will actually cure it!

anyway- i like it. i'm getting as much as possible.
