The needles themselves actually rarely ever hurt and compared to the injection I give myself every night, they are nothing. She feels the scalp for tender points and puts the needles in those places. I am amazed how she knows all the tender points. When I try to feel around I can't seem to find them, but when she presses down, OUCH!!!!! and this is just the scalp.
My session was longer than usual. The normal session takes about an hour, but today was a hour and a half. I fell asleep. Sometimes she puts these electrodes on my muscles that pulse and they end up making my muscles relax. What a relief to my tired and achy self.
I think the effects of the steroids are wearing off because the last three days I am taking more and more naps and actually sleeping through most of the nap. When I am on steroids, I can hardly sleep at all. The effects seem to stay with me for over a month after I stop taking them.
