I'm getting acupuncture for the first time tomorrow!

When I was first diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I was told that acupuncture might help.

I did medication for a while but stopped it because I didn't need it anymore.

Things are getting bad again, though. I've started wearing extra layers just for the padding, and wrapping my forearms in my scarf when I sit anywhere so nothing touches them.

It just hurts.

My main concern, however, is that it's effecting my exercise. I'm trying very hard to lose a significant amount of weight, and the fibromyalgia isn't helping.

Anyway, back to the acupunture-- I'm really hoping it will help. Those kinds of things always make me nervous.

Not the being stuck with a whole bunch of pointy things-- I'm not worried about that.

It's the being stuck in a dimly lit room in your skivvies with a stranger part.

Yikes.

I'm actually a little excited about the whole bunch of pointy things part...
