Yesterday, Sunday, was rough. While I was in church the pain was so bad that I just stood there and mouthed the words to the worship songs. I know I could have left but the pain would have still been there, so I figured church was just about the best place to be.
Tonight marks the completion of day 10. I went to a new acupuncturist today. She is also an ARNP as well as a ND with credentials as some pretty impressive schools. She works in Bellevue (not so great for me who is here up in Everett) at a wellness center. I wanted to try out a second acupuncturist so I could see if the approach was any different. I learned a lot about the process from her, she has the heart of a teacher, and she was much more gentle. She also gave me some new information that I had not learned before about the liver and how it's function. I'm not sure if I'll only see her or because of the distance do a combination of my Everett gal and her. I can now say that I really believe in this treatment. Even though I'm still experiencing pain it's nothing like before. Some, unfortunately not all, of my fear of failure is subsiding.
I still wish the mornings were painfree though. They have been my worst times.
About Me
- strengththroughgrace
- My name is Camille Morris, I'm 39, wife of a wonderful and supportive husband, and mom of two amazing and loving children for whom I thank God every day for entrusting in our care. I have always been interested in health and wellness. I am an avid reader and a lifelong learner. I crave knowledge and have studied numerous books, web sites, and taken college courses relating to health and wellness. I was very fortunate to be given a scholarship in 2004 to the famous Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona where I participated in their week long program, "Life Enhancement". I was taught by some of the best and inspiring health professionals in their field. Six years ago I began experiencing chronic headaches and migraines. I started taking Tylenol and ibuprofen to alleve this pain. Now I find my body dependent on this so called "safe" medicine and have decided to go through an intense and painful withdrawal process to overcome this. I will cling to the verse, "...With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19: 26. I invite you to take this journey with me.
