Today, or yesterday rather, I received my first acupressure treatment. I came to this by route of seeking treatment for my food and environmental sensitivities/allergies.
When I set up the appointment, the day before, the receptionist told me Angel would be treating me, but I wasn't quite sure that was what she said. I found this to be positive- that someone with this name would be attempting to help me... not that I like to put too much weight into such things, or not that I am not full of tests along the way.
But today when I arrived it was confirmed that she was the one who would be treating me.
I didn't have a lot of faith going in, but I try to. I try to keep an open mind. I have to. I'm desperate to get better. I'll take anything.
According to her tests, I was hyper-aware, or something like that... Hyper something. Everything is hyper-sensitive. But she didn't mean as in I'm actually hypersensitive to much, at all, just that I- me, my brain, is on fire. Or that's how I took it. I'm on watch. I'm afraid. She had me tap the diamond shape below my nose, five times, saying it is some kind of special point, and this allowed her to get better readings, where before I was all crazy.
It sounds crazy, really, but I try to keep an open mind, of unknowing. I know things aren't as they seem, always, so this is very possible. There's so much I don't know, and understand.
Oddly, counter to what I had been told by another doctor, I was found to be only allergic to dairy as far as individual foods go. Dairy can also mean eggs, I think. I'm not sure what I think about this. I haven't been able to eat much of anything for awhile without some reaction. But she told me I was reacting to my own acids. Cholic acid and another cholic acid. Dexa.. uhh.. I forget. Dec. I don't know. And acetic acid. Then there were "phenolics", generally, which I imagine goes into other things of that kind.
I already notice, that chocolate no longer makes me feel... "sick". Not quite the same. Maybe I just got it into my head. And I ate lamb without a bad headache or reaction... Basically, I'm allergic to myself, and my own processes. In a way. There's probably more, but it was, if this works at all (as it seems to), probably effected positively.
I saw that Donna, the girl I pay attention to sometimes, often, every day- nearly, had changed her facebook profile image to an angel, after my appointment.
Sometimes I don't know. I mean, I never know. I guess. Yea I say it could be coincidence, but this is something. And I don't want to get my hopes up, about it being true that I don't have as many actual allergies. But I know that, for instance, rice gives me hives, and her tests didn't pick up on that. But, I guess it could be the way I am reacting to my own system, which is odd, but possible. Any way, whatever she did, seemed to help, and I have felt better. Or hopeful, at least. But again, again, I don't want to jump up and down just yet.
I plan on treating the rest of my sensitivities, dairy, phenolic acids (wide general), and molds, and then trying acupuncture with the guy who runs that place, to see if that helps me with anything.
