@SilverTrees is your acupuncture treatment for chronic pain? I'm asking because that is the main reason I'm doing it, and my three sessions so far have been painful. The needles, as tiny as they are, have going in and coming out. Also, while in, they have been very uncomfortable. The AP says it's normal for people being treated for long term chronic pain to experience this, and she says it will become less painful and uncomfortable over time. I'm wondering if that's the case?

Also, you mentioned the herbs. Some contain bad ingredients? Do you know what I should watch out for? I looked up all of the ones in my cocktail, and they are all flowers and roots, except one that is made from fossils.
