So today is my acupuncture appointment. I am going to write down what you guys have recommended regarding the calming sensitive treatment and the condition that causes over stimulation to the CNS. But I am slightly worried about whether or not I should do this so close to my chemo treatment (it's Friday). The reason is b/c when I was reading on the subject it said:
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO THE TREATMENT?
Usually not. As energy is redirected in the body, internal chemicals and hormones are stimulated and healing begins to take place. Occasionally the original symptoms worsen for a few days, or other general changes in appetite, sleep, bowel or urination patterns, or emotional state may be triggered. These should not cause concern, as they are simply indications that the acupuncture is starting to work. It is quite common with the first one or two treatments to have a sensation of deep relaxation or even mild disorientation immediately following the treatment. These pass within a short time, and never require anything more than a bit of rest to overcome.
I have been in a window since I bounced back from the last chemo treatment (about a week or so) but have noticed a new symptom.... the eye tremor. It's like my eye ball is moving but I can't see it moving when I look in the mirror, but I can feel it like flinching? This symptom doesn't bother me as bad as the headaches or depression, anxiety, etc.... but still just noting it. Seems like someone else was talking about this symptom in our group but I couldn't find it again when I went looking.
